C. Simpson Used Book Shop in Brodheadsville has more than 150,000 books in stock and on Saturday I’ll be there selling my first edition of Tocks Island: Dammed If You Do.
Hope to see you May 20 between 9 am and 1 pm at the West End Plaza off Route 209. Let’s chat about the 13-year struggle resulting in rescinding approval of what would have been a dam and 37-mile-long reservoir on the Delaware River.

My book – Tocks Island: Dammed If You Do – has gone live and is available on Amazon in hard cover, paperback, or e-book.
Read about the 13-year struggle that overturned government approval of a dam that would have created a 37-mile reservoir on the middle Delaware River. Thousands in the eastern Poconos and New Jersey Skylands lost their homes. “Squatters” illegally occupied the land for nearly four years before being forcibly removed by federal marshals.
This is the first book that focuses extensively on the diverse homegrown movement primarily responsible for the dam’s defeat and creation of the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area. Learn how activists like Nancy Shukaitis, Joan Matheson, David and Ruth Jones, Glen Fisher and Casey Kays thwarted the dam and the related Sunfish Pond pumped storage hydroelectric project at the dawn of the modern environmental movement.
Today, the site hosts the 70,000-acre Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area. Today, the Delaware is the longest dam-free river in the eastern U.S.
