From its birth at Pittsburgh in the confluence of the Allegheny and Monongahela rivers  the Ohio flows nearly a thousand miles  gathering the waters of its tributaries  carving a pathway through the land  giving rise to cities  forming the boundaries of five states  and finally emptying into the Mississippi to complete its journey to the sea. This powerful river shaped the history  the culture  and the character of those who followed the rivers lure in the eighteenth century and those who make their homes beside it today. It was the first great pathway to the West  the trail of danger  the highway of hope.  The Ohio today flows through the industrial heartland of the United States. Drawn by the power of this great river  writer John Ed Pearce and photographer Richard Nugent have traveled the Ohio from Pittsburgh to Cairo and back  seeking out the scenes  the echoes of history  the rhythms of life for those who call the Ohio home. This book is the record of their discoverieson the river itself and in the villages and cities and farmlands that form it shores.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45116222111797,"sku":"ByrdShop_0813116937","price":192.46,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780813116938.jpg?v=1776030142","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-ohio-river-9780813116938","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
