by Frances Dunwell (Author)
Offering sea-level access through the Adirondacks, the Hudson River once helped the country's largest and most innovative iron, cotton, and ship manufacturers send their goods to remote locations around the world. This book tells the history of the "magical alchemy between a river, its people, and the ideas of the times."
