During the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, the main
thoroughfare between New York City and the state capitol in Albany
was called the Albany Post Road. It saw a host of interesting
events and colorful characters, such as Samuel Morse, who lived in
Poughkeepsie, and Franklin Roosevelt of Hyde Park. Revolutionary
War spies marched this path, and Underground Railroad safe-houses
in towns like Rhinebeck and Fishkill sheltered slaves seeking
freedom in Canada. Anti-rent wars rocked Columbia County, and Frank
Teal's Dutchess County murder remains unsolved. With illustrations
by Tatiana Rhinevault, local historian Carney Rhinevault presents
these and other stories from the Albany Post Road in New York's
mid-Hudson Valley.
