{"product_id":"the-potomac-river-a-history-guide","title":"The Potomac River: A History \u0026 Guide","description":"Learn about the Potomac River and its significant role in American history.\n\nThe great Potomac River begins in the Alleghenies and flows 383 miles through some of America's most historic lands before emptying into the Chesapeake Bay. The course of the river drove the development of the region and the path of a young republic. Maryland's first Catholic settlers came to its banks in 1634 and George Washington helped settle the new capitol on its shores. During the Civil War the river divided North and South, and it witnessed John Brown's raid on Harper's Ferry and the bloody Battle of Antietam. Author Garrett Peck leads readers on a journey down the Potomac, from its first fount at Fairfax Stone in West Virginia to its mouth at Point Lookout in Maryland. Combining history with recreation, Peck has written an indispensable guide to the nation's river.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1609496000\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: LFV.1609496000.VG\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Very Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Peck, Garrett\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Book is in very good condition.
