Offers nearly forty years of interdisciplinary scholarship on the Hudson River Valleys role in the American Revolution. The Hudson River Valley, which George Washington referred to as the Key to the Northern Country, played a central role in the American Revolution. From 1776 to 1780, with major battles fought at Saratoga, Fort Montgomery, and Stony Point, the region was a central battleground of the Revolution. In addition, it witnessed some of the most dramatic and memorable aspects of the war, such as Benedict Arnolds failed conspiracy at West Point, the burning of New Yorks capital at Kingston, and the more than six-hundred-mile march of Washington and the Continental Army and Jean Baptiste Donatien de Vimeur, comte de Rochambeau, and his French Expeditionary Corps to Yorktown, Virginia. Compiled from essays that appeared in the Hudson Valley Regional Review and the Hudson River Valley Review, published by the Hudson River Valley Institute, the book illustrates the richly textured history of this supremely important time and place.

The Hudson River Valley in New York State has a wealth of Revolutionary War history. Rarely did an event take place along the Hudson that did not have broader implications for the entire American Revolutionary effort. Stretching from Manhattan Island nearly to Lake George, the Hudson was a main theater of war throughout much of the Revolutionary era. Had the British been successful in dominating it, the revolt of the mainland colonies might well have foundered. This monograph covers the highlights of the story. The narrative has been enriched with frequent glimpses of the variety of inhabitants whose lives were changed by the violence of that time. ¿Provides an admirable introduction to the people as well as the events.¿ Maps and drawings.
