The series spanned three publishers and thirty-seven years. Known as the “Great River” to early colonists, The Housatonic etches a 115-mile-long valley from its headwaters near Pittsfield, Mass. to its harbor in Long Island Sound between Bridgeport and New Haven. A region “apart from the common restlessness of America,” it has given life to native American tribes, colonists, tobacco farmers, and refugees from the cities seeking creative, academic, or interpretive peace. Rivers of America:The Housatonic tells the story of this famous waterway, since its emergence from the last ice age, to native settlement, colonization by Europeans, and more recent invasion by “tribes of miscellaneous writers, artists, and musicians.”","brand":"Lyons Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47308193136895,"sku":"9781493040162","price":21.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/Jacket_306598b4-4535-4695-9f69-ee872a9e4a85.jpg?v=1770744044","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/de\/products\/9781493040162","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
