Book Description
As the Continental Army was gaining traction on 1778, the British opted for multiple fronts, dividing the colonists¿ resources. In alliance with the Six Nations of the Iroquois, they led the Six Nations to attack the frontiers of Northeast Pennsylvania and Upstate New York. Hundreds of American militia and colonists were slaughtered. General Washington ordered an invasion of those allies in central and western New York. Led by General John Sullivan, the expedition was formed by one-third of the Continental Army. But to get there, they must cross the wilds of the Poconos, where no road was ever built. From the Journals of the Continental Army¿s leaders, we learn how a road was engineered and built through the Great Swamp, in thick forests that did not see daylight, while fighting the elements, rattlesnakes and hunger. Built over a major mountain range in just one month.

The Poconos, a rich plateau nestled in northeastern Pennsylvania between the Delaware River and the Moosic Mountains, encompass a variety of alluring features. The perfect reference for amateur naturalists, outdoor enthusiasts, tourists, and others who wish to explore the area, this classic guide clearly explains the unique geographic characteristics, animal habits and habitats, climate, geology, and vegetation of the area. The authors trace the region from its beginnings millions of years ago as part of a shallow sea, through the reshaping forces of great glaciers, to today's roadways and turnpikes. This revised and expanded edition also includes brief profiles of individuals who played significant roles in the preservation or understanding of the area's ecology. Chapters provide a general survey of the area, including its history and places to be explored and observed, information on forest types, wildlife, and aquatic habitats, updated facts and figures on animal populations, as well as new details on invasive species. Throughout the book, numerous boxes direct readers to observatory points for specific birds, ecosystems, vegetation types, and geological features, while maps, tables, original pen-and-ink illustrations, and a select list of field guides and other references enhance the book's appeal. An indispensable companion for visitors as well as residents, The Poconos is a must-read for everyone who wants to discover or better understand the beauty and natural history of this unique region.
