This waterway was used for centuries by Native American tribes for drinking, food and transportation. They called it Aquehung meaning a fast stream flowing along a high bluff. After the arrival of Europeans, though, the Bronx River suffered as industry prospered. It powered mills and, unfortunately, became a dumping ground for all kinds of waste. Its appearance and ecosystem were forever changed. However, community members are now again attempting to alter the river - only this time for the better - by helping it recover.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Maarten de Kadt\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1609491807\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781609491802\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e History Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/28\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 160\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.98h x 5.96w x 0.49d","brand":"Maarten de Kadt","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43938751447295,"sku":"9781609491802","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_81c0b7d2-9488-4cb4-bac5-f04c6389004c.jpg?v=1681437518","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-bronx-river-maarten-de-kadt-9781609491802","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
