About this book
Wallace Bruce follows the Hudson from New York to Albany and up to its source, in a Centennial Edition tied to the anniversaries of Hendrick Hudson's voyage and Robert Fulton's steamboat Clermont of 1807. An opening section covers the Half Moon, Dutch settlement and river steamers.
The river is then taken stage by stage past the Palisades, Sleepy Hollow and Washington Irving, Stony Point, West Point, Newburgh, Kingston and Catskill. The upper Hudson leads through Saratoga, Lake George and the Adirondacks to the river's source, and short chapters on geology and tides end the book.
