Weekend Walks in On the Delmarva Peninsula
by Jay Abercrombie

From the Weekend Walks series.

Walks and Hikes in Deleware and the Eastern Shore of Maryland and Virginia

The curious wanderer's guide to the colorful history and the rich natural diversity of the Chesapeake and Delaware Bay area.

Follow the trails in this all-new guide, and you'll discover deep forests, secluded beaches, and unexpected wild landscapes. Jay Abercrombie deftly weaves his expertise in biology and ecology with a boundless interest in the ebb and flow of the human tide through the centuries.

The Delmarva Peninsula dangles close to the Baltimore-Washington-Philadelphia megalopolis, but it has always remained apart from the fast-paced urban world, maintaining a charming agrarian and maritime flavor with strong colonial roots. The walks in this book range from easy strolls to a challenging backpacking trip, and meander through old millpond areas, 18th-century villages, historic forts, and a rich diversity of natural habitats. A mild winter climate makes this region inviting for exploration all year 'round. 40 black & white photographs, 36 maps, index.
