THE CONCORD, SUDBURY, AND ASSABET RIVERS, A Guide To Canoeing, Wildlife and History is for anyone who has an interest or connection to the rivers of the historic Concord River Basin (Concord River, Sudbury River, Assabet River). It is for the person who wants to explore, from the comfort of their living room or in the field, these famous rivers of Thoreau and Emerson.

There is nowhere else in this country with such pivotal literary, political and industrial histories. It is where the American experiment started, the shot heard "round the world", Thoreau’s WALDEN and CIVIL DISOBEDIENCE, Emerson, the Alcotts, Jack Kerouac. The infamous mills of Lowell got power from the Concord River.

On and about these rivers one can find deer, mink, snapping turtle, grebe, Bittersweet Nightshade, Coontail and on and on. It simply is a fine (and largely unnoticed) area of New England.

The book has three major areas of concentration:

• A canoeist’s guide which includes highlighted maps, access points, distances and portage locations with brief descriptions of each section being traveled.
• Illustrations and descriptions of the wildlife and flora of the river basin.
• An overall view of the many histories relevant to the area. These include geological, prehistory, settlement, industrial, transportation, water quality and, of course, the authors and naturalists of the Concord Basin.

THE CONCORD, SUDBURY, AND ASSABET RIVERS also has:
