Reviews
A gripping story of the rescue of one of America's great rivers--from a choked and contaminated commercial waterway in the nineteenth century to today's thriving wild trout fishery.--Garth Hallberg, author of Boon Juster and The Piketty Problem From childhood fishing experiences in heavily polluted headwaters of the Pennsylvania anthracite coal region to eye-witness accounts of devastation, reparation and astonishing creation, Lee Hartman documents the history of and ongoing struggle to sustain what is commonly known as the Upper Delaware tailwater trout fishery.--Robert Bachman Hartman offers the full sweep of the Delaware's story, and makes the case for its protection as a historically and ecologically important river that just happens to host a wild trout fishery that's unparalleled east of the Mississippi.--David Kinney, Eastern Policy Director, Trout Unlimited This book chronicles the natural and unnatural history of the Delaware, one of America's most popular designated 'Wild and Scenic Rivers', that many believe is the best wild trout fishery east of the Mississippi. Hartman has been among the leaders in devoting his time and energy to any and all organizations working to protect and preserve the Delaware River and its fisheries.--Ed Van Put, author of The Beaverkill
