5.0 out of 5 stars A great book!

Everything from memorable floods, to the Civil War, to the buildings, and people that shaped the town. It includes great photos and maps. It was first written in 1983.

For a walker this guide might be a valuable purchase. I suppose that it might work as a podcast too ( like Washington Travelcast).

A Walker's Guide to Harpers Ferry remindid me about german Polyglott Reiseführes.
