"Sailing down the river that would later bear his captain's name, explorer Robert Juet described the Hudson River Valley in 1609 as a "drowned land" submerged by a "great lake of water." Over the next two centuries, this drowned landscape would be the site of a truly historic flowering of art, literature, architecture, innovation, and revolutionary fervor--drawing comparisons to another fertile cultural haven built around a mighty river in Western Europe. As historian Vernon Benjamin chronicles, the Hudson River Valley has been a place of contradictions since its first settlement by Europeans. Discovered by an Englishman who claimed it for the Dutch, the region soon became home to the most vibrant trading outpost for the New World colonies--the Island of Manhattan--even as the rest of the valley retained the native beauty that would inspire artists from James Fenimore Cooper to Thomas Cole. Because of its unique geography and proximity to Canada, the Hudson Valley became the major theater for the battle between empires in the French and Indian War. When the colonists united in rebellion against the British several decades later, conflict came to the region once again, with decisive military engagements from Saratoga to West Point to the occupied New York Harbor. In the aftermath, New York emerged as the capital of a new nation, and wealth from the city flowed north to the burgeoning Valley, leading to a renaissance of culture and commerce that is still evident today." -- Publisher's website.

This anthology celebrates the extensive historical and literary heritage of New York's Hudson River Valley, discovered and explored over 400 years ago by its namesake, the English navigator Henry Hudson while aboard the Dutch ship Half Moon. The first section of the book covers the region's geographical history, beginning with its dramatic sculpting by mighty glaciers moving between the Catskill and Berkshire mountain ranges to its current geographical landscape and landmarks. The second part pays literary homage to this great, historically significant river valley and includes works by John Burroughs, Washington Irving, and James Fenimore Cooper among many other well-known writers. The Hudson River Valley Reader is a richly textured literary tapestry that explores the unique threads that comprise the natural, social, and cultural qualities and achievements inspired by this regal river and the majestic valley that is its home.
