Crossing Weehawken Ferry

Here is your blogger, looking down on his natal city from the heights of Weehawken. I wish I could dig deeper and tell you how I wandered the streets, like Walt Whitman, of that teeming island. I am the belated lighter of Crossing Brooklyn Ferry. Till then I will tell you little tidbits of trains and trolleys and lakes and estuaries. Today’s book recommendation: Changes in the Land by William Cronon. This will help you strip off all the stuff we’ve dumped on the soil and in the water and imagine God’s green earth here at the seaward end of the Hudson River.
