About this Item

A substantial and highly regarded regional history covering the transformation of New York's Hudson River Valley from the Civil War era through the twenty-first century. Drawing upon extensive archival research, Vernon Benjamin explores the region's political, economic, artistic, environmental, and cultural development through forty-six thematic chapters. Subjects range from the Gilded Age estates, railroads, and industrial growth to Franklin D. Roosevelt, Woodstock, conservation movements, modern development, and the preservation of the valley's unique landscape and heritage. Richly illustrated throughout with historical photographs, maps, artwork reproductions, and contemporary images, the volume serves as both a scholarly reference and an accessible narrative history of one of America's most influential regions.
