About this title

Synopsis

The mysterious majestic Hudson River Highlands have long enchanted artists and hikers. They also launched revolutions of independence, and industry, conservation, and creativity. Every hill and hollow arcing fifty miles north of New York City holds a story. Some helped shape the nation. An icy giant slumbering between Storm King and Breakneck Ridge surprised the First Nation peoples. George Washington, fighting here for American Independence, saved the new states from a military coup by "making a spectacle" of himself. The ghost of the twice-hanged pirate William Kidd returns to the Highlands to guard his treasure. Professional storyteller Jonathan Kruk reveals a trove of tales featuring impish spirits, passionate patriots, and visionaries of the historic, colorful Hudson Highlands.
