Written by Roland Van Zandt

Chronicles of the Hudson, captures 300 years of travelers' tales of adventure on America's own, Hudson River. From its Adirondack headwaters at Lake Tear of the Clouds, to Glens Falls, the Catskill Mountain high peaks, Rondout, Danskammer, Anthony's Nose, the Tappan Zee, to the Palisades and finally to New York City's bustling harbor, the Hudson has been witness to a changing sea of faces, passengers from all walks of life. In coming to chart the River's path, the men and women chronicled here became participants in its illustrious history. Meet explorers and travelers from Robert Juet, navigator aboard Henry Hudson's pioneering Half Moon, to General Lafayette and Henry James. For the armchair explorer of today, with an appetite for reliving our nation's younger days, Chronicles of the Hudson is a gripping tale of what was.
