Finding Woodstock Jeff Widmer

On the Road to Eden

Woodstock, Vietnam and the Tocks Island Dam-all hot button issues that divided a nation and a town. The Sixties were filled with a mix of conflict and hope, with madness and music, and the Delaware River became ground zero for that fight.

In Finding Woodstock, author Jeff Widmer reflects on one of America's most turbulent times as he examines the promise of a generation and the decade that shaped our lives. A companion to the novel Born Under a Bad Sign, this collection of short essays provides the backstory to a generation that is still trying to get back to the garden.

With original photography by the author.

He is also the author of several works of nonfiction, including the Spirit of Swiftwater, a chronicle of vaccine-makers at the turn of the twentieth century.
