Arthur G. Adams has nurtured a lifelong interest in the Hudson
River and its surrounding region. He has spent much of his life
exploring its highways, byways, waterways, and foot trails from the
Atlantic Coastal inlets to the Catskill and Berkshire Mountain
Peaks. The Hudson Through the Years chronicles the history of the
Hudson River region of New York State through five centuries, from
its early inhabitants: its main Native American tribes and early
Dutch and English settlers, through its current day residents.
Tracing the history of the region from the American Revolution to
the present, Adams incorporates the spread of industrialism,
infrastructure, and trasnportation with tales of the early
steamboats, ferries, horseboats, the Erie, Champlain, Iron and
Anthracite canals, through the development of the trolleys,
railroads, and automobiles. The book also includes details about
the art and architecture of the region. Included in the book are
data about New York's governors, political administrations, U.S.
presidents, and British sovereigns, ferry and train routes and
schedules, maps and tables, and statistics for population growth
over the last five centuries. Also included is a helpful selected
bibliography.
