Just over ten years ago I was asked to contribute to a project that sought to raise funds for the purchase of a plot of land in south central Pennsylvania. Michael Klimkos was putting together a book for the Central Pennsylvania Conservancy. The group was looking to capitalize on the history of the land, specifically the stream that ran through it.

Just under ten years after Casting Across launched, The Letort: A Limestone Legacy was published. The land was eventually acquired. And now one of the branches of the Letort’s headwaters are protected  for the first time in over a century.

This book is more than fundraising, though. It is a quick and comprehensive history of a little spring creek that contributed a lot to American angling.

Watch what else I have to say about the book and find out where you can start a search for your own copy  below:

Copies of The Letort aren’t easy to come by. But the Central Pennsylvania Conservancy is a good place to start learning more.
