Book Description
The Mohawk Trail evokes visions of the ancient, recalls an abundance of historic incidents, and etches memories of natures bounty. The trail weaves a fabric of both old and modern footprints through a historic college campus, past a fort under siege, down an old mill towns Main Street, up a barrier mountain, around a harrowing curve, and through aweinspiring expanses of natures finest work. Nothing paints the enchantment of the trail better than the vintage postcards of the early to mid1900s. Mohawk Trail takes the reader on a postcard vacation, retracing the footsteps of the Native Americans and first settlers who made these valleys their home.

Book Description
During the winter of 1776, in one of the most amazing logistical feats of the Revolutionary War, Henry Knox and his teamsters transported cannons from Fort Ticonderoga through the sparsely populated Berkshires to Boston to help drive British forces from the city. This history documents Knox's precise route--dubbed the Henry Knox Trail--and chronicles the evolution of an ordinary Indian path into a fur corridor, a settlement trail, and eventually a war road. By recounting the growth of this important but under appreciated thoroughfare, this study offers critical insight into a vital Revolutionary supply route.
