$77.56
The Hudson, by Carl Carmer. Illustrated by Stow Wengenroth. 1st Edition/8th Printing published in 1939 by Farrar & Rinehart of New York.
The Hudson is part of The Rivers of America series. The Hudson is less a formal historical account of the discovery and development of the river than a personal, anecdotal view of it. Included are tales of white-sailed sloops and steamboats racing from Albany to New York; of old whalers and trader sea dogs of the Catskill shore; of showboats playing anti-rent melodramas to incite farmers against their landlords; of great disasters and heroic deeds; of the efforts of the Hudson River School to capture \"sublimity\" on canvas; of the quarrelsome, rough-and-tumble life of the Dutch along the river\'s banks, and much more.
