“One Man’s Journey: A Walk on the Croton Aqueduct Trail”
Aqueduct fans who enjoy strolling the trail, alternately enjoying the sights along the way and thinking about what’s going on in their life, will find a kindred spirit in Ed Perratore, author of the paperback titled One Man’s Journey: A Walk on the Croton Aqueduct Trail. The book is a graceful account of Ed’s trek along the entire 26 miles of the Aqueduct trail in Westchester, made in segments over a period of years, from the New Croton Dam in Croton Gorge Park to the Yonkers-Bronx border. Interspersed with observations of the trail’s flora and fauna and its historic and more ordinary but still interesting sites are passages recounting scenes from his family life – including aiding his ailing father – and his personal thoughts about life’s vagaries. The book is amply illustrated by the author’s photographs.
