Description:
Have you driven along historic Route 6 or through the rolling farmlands of Pennsylvania Dutch country and the popular Amish Lancaster County? Have you explored the battlefields of Gettysburg or the disappearing wilderness of the Poconos and the Appalachian mountains? Have you truly experienced the Susquehanna River? A celebration of our state’s beauty, Backroads of Pennsylvania--written and photographed by local experts--takes you on routes covering nearly all corners of the Keystone State: routes that lead you to the state’s most secluded and overlooked natural areas and sites that capture Pennsylvania’s colorful history. Whether you’re planning a day trip, looking for unusual destinations, or simply want to learn more about the region, Backroads of Pennsylvania will lead you deep into the soul of the state—beyond the bustling cities and common tourist attractions. Glenn Davis’s Davis Photographic Specialties focuses on natural history photography and commercial advertising. His photography has appeared in many national publications, including Audubon, National Geographic, and Natural History magazines, Sierra Club calendars, and Hallmark cards.

Missing some good pics of lower Susquehanna ValleyMar 06, 2008 When I "searched inside this book," I found a text section on "Holtwood" & "Conowingo" Dams, not far from the Maryland border. I'm from around that area & have always been in awe of its beauty, so when I ordered this book, I was hoping there would be at least one nice photo or two of those places. Much to my disappointment, there was not a single one! The other photos were still good, but a great injustice was done by not showing that beautiful area!

Pictures Alone are Worth the PriceDec 28, 2006 The photographs in this book are fantastic. Judging by the picture of the photographer in the back he took them with a large format camera, and it shows. A few even seem more realistic than if you were actually there when they were taken.
All in all, the book is money well spent for anyone with a bit of wanderlust and easy access to Pennsylvania.

WordyDec 05, 2006 This was a nice looking book, but I bought it for my grandmother, expecting it to be more of a tour/guide book. It's more like a history book, and not really what I was looking for so I returned it. It's not the kind of book you'd be able to look at while on the road (like say have the navigator point things out - too wordy for that). It does have some really nice photos though. Also, when I received the book the cover was a little worn, even though it was supposed to be new, so another reason I didn't want to give it as a gift.

Great photographyAug 31, 2003 If you are looking for places to drive around PA, this is must have. The photography is amazing. It shows hundreds of places that you can visit on 1 or 2 day drives. It reminds everyone how diverse PA is.
