- Summary:
- "Sarah West brings to life the Wissahickon Valley, a beautiful, wild, yet accessible part of Philadelphia's Fairmount Park System. The Valley, witness to important parts of America's history, is both a geological wonder and an ecological labaratory--as well as a place of recreation and renewal for busy city people. This is really two books in one. First, it is an authoritative introduction to the history and the science of the Wissahickon. Second, it is a guidebook for exploration"-- Provided by publisher.
