The Mohawk Trail evokes visions of the ancient, recalls an abundance of historic incidents, and etches memories of nature�s 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 town�s Main Street, up a barrier mountain, around a harrowing curve, and through aweinspiring expanses of nature�s 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.
Robert Campanile lectured and taught at the American Museum of Natural History in New York City before relocating to North Adams, where he designed the North Adams Museum of History and Science and the Vermont Covered Bridge Museum in Bennington, Vermont. He travels the Mohawk Trail through all seasons for inspiration and joy.
