In NEW YORK'S HUDSON --AMERICA'S VALLEY photojournalist Ted Spiegel shares a compelling vision through both his words and photographs. His year-round voyages through the valley in which he lives offer the reader a fresh perspective. These pages are an invitation to explore the region from the river's source at Lake Tear of the Clouds, to The Statue of Liberty. This book's chapters guide the reader along the river and its valley through four time periods: its geological formation, colonial days, the Gilded Age and the modern era. Life-loong residents along the Hudson will discover insights, while newcompers will be captivated by the scenic wonder of the land, its nation-shaping history and the diversity of its people.

Much like the 19th century artists of the Hudson River School, photojournalist Ted Spiegel has made the Hudson River Valley his life's work. Freelance assignments for the National Geographic Society have taken him throughout the world over a twenty-five year period. But ever since his January 1978 Geographic article on the Hudson, he has explored the valley again and again to convey its richness through his spectacular images.
FANS OF SPIEGEL'S AWARAD-WINNING WORK HAVE ENJOYED HIS HUDSON RIVER VALLEY CALENDAR since 1989. The fist book which offered his visual interpretation of the region was AMERICAN TREASURE, THE HUDSON RIVER VALLEY (1986) followed by SARATOGA (1988), THE ILLUSTRATED HISTORY OF WEST POINT (1991), GARDENS OF THE HUDSON RIVER VALLEY(1996) and WEST POINT GUIDE BOOK (1999). These colorful works and his many exhibitions have added immeasurably to the public's knowledge, understandfing and appreciation of this culturally rich and varied region
"The old Hudson Valley is lucky to have an ace photographeer like Ted to document her through the decades. -- Pete Seeger
"Through the 148 exquisitely rendered photos and an insightful text, Spiegel conveys both the region's timeless beauty..." -- Hudson Valley Magazine
