The Susquehanna River Valley opens where the mighty Susquehanna meets the Chesapeake Bay, revealing a land of astonishing beauty and storied history. From John ONeills valiant defense of Havre de Grace in the War of 1812 to the arrivals of the B&O Railroad, Aberdeen Proving Ground, and Conawingo Dam, the region has witnessed greatness and change in equal measure. David Berry takes his readers to a place where history lives alongside such beloved pastimes as sailing, fishing, decoy carving, and thoroughbred racing. With wit and a deft hand, Berry captures the essence of the Susquehanna River Valleys charm.
