Excerpt from A Guide to the Potomac River, Chesapeake Bay and James River, and an Ocean Voyage to Northern Ports: A Series of Interesting and Instructive Excursions by Water From Washington While the banks of the James gave birth to the first English settlement on the continent of North America, the Potomac, the other great tributary of the Chesapeake, gave birth to the immortal Washington, the commander ih-chief of the armies of the Rebellion against a tyran nous king, and the first President of the United States of America. Here also repose the mortal remains of this great patriot. Near its shores also rest the ashes of Patrick Henry, whose fiery eloquence struck the key-note of hostility to the encroachments of kingly despotism, of Jefferson, the author of the Declaration of Independence; of Peyton Randolph, President of the First Continental Congress of Edmund Randolph, the framer of the orig inal draft of the Constitution of the United States (1787) of Madison and Monroe and, to cap the climax of this remarkable chain of events, upon its shores stands the Capital of this nation of millions of human creatures who trace the foundations of the civil and religious liberty which they now enjoy back to the principles enun ciated and established by these heroic men, aided by their compeers of New England.

The story of the Potomac is the story of America—take a historic hike with this fascinating guide. The 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 capital 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. In this book, 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 indispensible guide to the nation's river.
