Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. Enlivened by remarkable illustrations, this book relates the history of steam boating on the Hudson River from the days of Robert Fulton to the present. Although the emphasis is on the Hudson River Day Line, almost all the companies who operated on the river are also covered, since they were either predecessors, successors or competitors. Millions of people fondly remembered the beautiful scenery along the banks, and chose this slower method of transport over the cinders and noise of the much faster trains. Besides, the Day Line offered art displays, chamber music, cool decks o stretch one's legs and a de luxe cuisine to be leisurely enjoyed. Profusely illustrated. Bibliography. 228 pp. First edition. Fine hardcover in a fine, mylar covered, unclipped dust jacket. The photos on the listing page are of the actual book for sale. Always carefully packaged and shipped quickly. Seller Inventory # 002651
