This work traces the course of the Susquehanna River through New York, Pennsylvania and Maryland to Chesapeake Bay. The author discusses key locations along the route and how the river changes from sources to sea.
As the largest river on the East Coast of the United States, the rolling Susquehanna is the indispensable tributary of the Chesapeake Bay, the nation's largest extuary. Gathering strength from scores of streams along its 444-mile journey, the river delivers half of the freshwater the bay requires to maintain its ecological balance."
