The Hidden River Expedition, Day 3: Schuylkill
This is footage from day three of my three-day, forty-mile solo kayak trek from Mount Holly, NJ to Bartram's Garden, in West Philadelphia. The expedition took place between August 4th and August 6th, 2011. During my journey I traveled on three rivers: the Rancocas, Delaware and Schuylkill.
This expedition was in part a stunt, but it was also a re-exploration of Philadelphia's waterways and their history. It was an investigation of the region's terrain, which has been circumvented, obscured and altered by infrastructure--and how that terrain has reasserted itself on this infrastructure.
On day three of the expedition, I launched my kayak from Penn Treaty Park and headed down the Delaware, riding the incoming tide up the Schuylkill and eventually reaching my final destination, Bartram's Garden.
Photos from Day 3 of the Expedition can be viewed here:
Philadelphia in the Mid-1700s
Have you ever wondered how the British thought about the American Revolution? Often, American history only includes the perspective from modern-day Americans--History is written by the victors, after all. But many stories you've never heard led to the outcome we know today.
In this course, we will study how the American Revolution looked from many different perspectives, including those of the Americans and Colonists, the British, the French, and the Spanish. There was a lot more happening in 1776 than just a war between American and Britain! While the events of the American Revolution are usually relegated to just a few weeks in a typical American History course, Dr. Andrew Koke goes deep into the political, religious, and cultural influences which led to the revolution and changed the course of history, not only on the North American continent, but for much of the world.

Philadelphia America's First World Heritage City
The Philadelphia World Heritage City film is a 28-minute documentary written and narrated by University of Pennsylvania Professor of History of Art, David B. Brownlee, Ph.D., FSAH, and produced and directed by filmmaker Sam Katz. Created to commemorate the historic designation of Philadelphia as the First World Heritage City in the United States, the film offers an exceptional glimpse into the formation and development of Philadelphia, illustrating the city’s leadership role in the fields of art, transportation, urban planning, medicine and more. The film spans centuries, touching upon the formation of some of Philadelphia’s unique neighborhoods and how far Philadelphia has come from the idealistic plan envisioned by William Penn in the 17th century. Now, with a World Heritage City designation by the Organization of World Heritage Cities, Philadelphia should fully embrace its rich heritage as Dr. Brownlee so eloquently reminds viewers.
