Pulitzer Prize-winning photographer Steven G. Smith showcases the
picturesque Thames River basin, which extends from southern
Massachusetts through Connecticut to the Long Island Sound. The
river and its watershed help define the borders of a valley that is
unique among its East Coast neighbors, considered to be the last
place where dark night sky can be viewed between Washington, D.C.
and the Boston metro area. Locals like to call the area the "Quiet
Corner" or the "Last Green Valley." In 1994, the U.S. Congress
designated parts of the area as a Natural Heritage Corridor because
it is one of the last remaining stretches of green in the area and
boasts some of the largest unbroken forests in southern New
England. This full-color documentary photo essay explores this
Atlantic gem, through the faces of the people and the landscapes.
An excellent gift and an educational resource, the book includes a
foreword by noted outdoor writer Steve Grant.
