New York's Hudson : America's Valley

In NEW YORK'S HUDSON --AMERICA'S VALLEY photojournalist Ted Spiegel shares a compelling vision through both his words and photographs. His year-round voyages through the valley in which he lives offer the reader a fresh perspective. These pages are an invitation to explore the region from the river's source at Lake Tear of the Clouds, to The Statue of Liberty. This book's chapters guide the reader along the river and its valley through four time periods: its geological formation, colonial days, the Gilded Age and the modern era. Life-loong residents along the Hudson will discover insights, while newcompers will be captivated by the scenic wonder of the land, its nation-shaping history and the diversity of its people.
