Supporting the Natural and Cultural Resources along the Delaware River and Its Tributaries

A Cruise through History on the Delaware River presented by Gary Letcher

Gary Letcher, author of "Paddlers’ Guide to the Delaware River", gives an illustrative tour through history on and along our beautiful River. Beginning with various craft, and their pilots, that plied its waters from earliest times to the present day, he springboards into select events that mark the river community still today.

Gary Letcher has paddled the Delaware for more than 50 years. The first edition of "Canoeing the Delaware" was published in 1985, with three subsequent editions. After a career in environmental law, Gary retired to Lewes, Delaware, where he often serves as an instructor at the Lifelong Learning Institute associated with the University of Delaware.
