Kurzbeschreibung
Synopsis
Der Autor über sein Buch
Pennsylvania is beauty girded by spirit: neat villages of limestone, Amish farms green as emeralds, sugar maple forests veined with ice-clear water, cities dense with history and amusements. Pennsylvania's tipsy hills and elegant halls sheltered Ben Franklin and Andy Warhol; Andy Carnegie and armies of hopeful immigrants built empires from her strong bones.
To do her justice, I traveled thousands of miles of peaceful two-lane roads, from Erie to Philadelphia, Greene county to the tips of the Endless Mountains. This book is for nature lovers, seekers of kissing bridges, hikers, bikers, white water runners, skiers, dancers, art aficionados, historians and Civil War buffs, collectors of Americana and antiques, gourmets and friends of the humble diner, lovers of gossip (old and new), families and singles, and for all who wish to step into an America that many believe exists only in fantasy. It's real; it's Pennsylvania.
Like all Moon guides, the Pennsylvania Handbook offers a comprehensive look at people, places, history, and culture, while giving specific tips on lodging, dining, and things to see and do. This is the only multi-activity guide to the entire state.
