The Connecticut River from the Air is a collection of extraordinary
aerial images and an adventure chronicled by historian Jerry Roberts and
photographed by Tom Walsh. The book provides an intimate perspective,
exploring New England's greatest river from Long Island Sound, where its
waters mingle with the salty brine of the Atlantic Ocean, to its source
410 miles to the north, just yards from the Canadian border. Amazing and
wonderful sights appear along the River that can only be seen and
appreciated from small, low-flying aircraft. Beauty and wonder can be
found in historic canals and bridges as well as twists and bends in the
River, ship wrecks, rock formations, and even sand patterns on the River
bottom. From naturally formed ox-bows to cornfield mazes, hidden
valleys, quaint villages, industrial cities and sweeping vistas, these
Wonders of the River are the true treasures of this amazing waterway and
its surrounding landscapes.
