Juniata, River of Sorrows: One Man's Journey into a River's Tragic Past Book

A very nice summer read.
Every good river should have a book as good as this written about it.
No, The Juanita in Pennsylvania is not the Nile, or even it's beautiful neighbor, the Susquehanna.
But it is a thing of beauty and I get to cross it twice a day for the past 35 years.
The author floats down the 100 mile length of the river from it's source, describing the scenery and the quality of fishing (in detail) along the way.
Every other chapter he dives into the detailed history of the river and the people who have lived along it, (Such as the Lenni Lenape Indians). He avoids the legends and sticks to the confirmed facts of history by quoting multiple, reliable sources.
Some of his writing may go as far as being considered scholarly research.
I can't wait to take my dog out onto the river in a few weeks time.
