 The Historic Hudson 
 
 DESBROSSES STREET TO TARRYTOWN 
 
 The Hudson River. What is considered the principal 
 source of the river is a tiny Lake in Essex County, called 
 Summit Water, or Lake Tear of the Clouds. It is 325 miles 
 from the Narrows, and 4,300 feet above sea level, therefore the 
 highest prominent body of water from which it is fed. For 
 more than half its length the river winds through the valleys 
 and foot-hills of the Adirondacks. Just above Troy, at which 
 point it is joined by the Mohawk, its chief tributary, it reaches 
 sea level, and for the remaining 150 miles of its course it is 
 practically an estuary of the sea. The influence of the tide is 
 felt here. This is because from this point to its union with the 
 Atlantic Ocean the river has been drowned, as the geologists 
 put it. That is to say, the subsidence of the valley of the 
 prehistoric stream has permitted the sea to flow in upon 
 the river. Its early bed, hundreds of feet below the present 
 surface of the river, has been covered with debris so deep 
 that the bottom which is touched by a sounding line today, 
 except in the Highlands, is less than a hundred feet below. 
 Between West Point and Constitution Island it attains a 
 depth of 216 feet; this is the deepest point in the river. 
 It follows the curious habit of all the rivers of the Atlantic 
 coast in that it crosses the ranges of the Appalachian 
 system transversely. Owing to the geologic subsidence, 
 it is the only one of them that furnishes a navigable water- 
 way entirely through the system. This is the reason New 
 York State has become the Empire State and New York City 
 the great metropolis of the American continent. The Hudson 
 was the most available waterway between the coast and the 
 interior of the continent. 
 
 Thirty miles south of Albany and 102 miles north of New 
 York City on the west side of the river the velvety purple domes 
 of the Catskill Mountains rise into the heavens. Fifty miles 
 south of the Catskills, the river enters the famous Highlands, 
 through which it passes in a gorge so crooked that in the course 
 of the fourteen miles separating the northern and southern 
 gates, the river adds two miles to the distance a boat must 
 travel between New York and Albany. South of this point 
 the river widens into the Tappan Zee, the broadest part of 
 the river. Below Manhattan the waters of the Hudson blend 
 with the tidal currents of the East River in the Upper Bay.

 New York Harbor. As the 
 steamer pushes its way out into 
 the river to begin its voyage, a 
 view of the Upper Bay is ob- 
 tained, showing the Statue of 
 Liberty on Bedloe's Island and 
 the hazy heights of Staten Island 
 behind it. On the left hand 
 as the prow turns up stream, is 
 the shore of New Jersey, with 
 its long line of railway terminals 
 and steamship piers. 
 
 The Upper Bay is a circular 
 basin about five miles in 
 diameter. It is connected with 
 the Lower Bay by the Narrows, 
 the deepest part of the harbor. 
 The Lower Bay is shaped like 
 an Indian arrow head, the sides 
 being the southeast shore of 
 Staten Island and the north shore 
 of New Jersey, the point being 
 Raritan Bay and the barbs, 
 Gravesend Bay, just north of 
 Coney Island and Sandy Hook 
 Bay just west of Sandy Hook. 
 It is about thirteen miles long 
 and about the same width at the 
 barbs. Its channels are marked 
 by an expensive system of 
 lightships, lighthouses and steel 
 buoys, charged with supplies 
 of illuminating gas under pres- 
 sure, which permit them to be 
 seen at night as well as in the 
 day time. 
 
 Notable Skyscrapers. On 
 the right hand as the steamer 
 slowly gathers way among the 
 myriad smaller craft, New York's 
 unique skyline rises against the 
 blue. In the foreground are 
 piers devoted to railroad sta- 
 tions and piers occupied by the 
 great transatlantic liners. 
 
RAND McNALLY HUDSON RIVER GUIDE 7 
 
 Notable among the great temples of commerce which cover 
 the southern part of the island are the three towers, the 
 Singer, furthest south, 612 feet high; the Gothic spire of the 
 Woolworth Building (close by the turrets of the towering 
 Municipal building), 58 stories and 750 feet high, the tallest 
 building in the world, and two miles further north, the 
 campanile of the Metropolitan Life Building, 700 feet high. 
 
 Harbor Activities. Moving about the steamer are many 
 types of vessels not likely to be seen elsewhere. There are 
 floating grain elevators, giant steel and wooden barges bearing 
 trains of cars, and many types of lighters. In addition, there 
 are numerous two-decked, screw ferry boats and tugs bearing 
 the insignia of the great trunk railway lines. The names of 
 the railroads also are to be seen upon the ends of many piers 
 on both sides of the river. New York City is unique among the 
 great ports of the world in that railway freight cars cannot be 
 moved upon the piers on their own tracks. Only one railroad 
 has an all-rail freight route into Manhattan. This absence of 
 all-rail connection is the one handicap of New York harbor and 
 city. The railway lines have been obliged to spend millions of 
 dollars on floating equipment in order to transfer their 
 passengers and freight to the great city. The problem so far 
 as passengers is concerned has been solved for some of the 
 lines through the construction of tubes for the accommodation 
 of passenger trains beneath the bottom of the Hudson River. 
 It will be a long time before there are any additions to the 
 railroad yards on Manhattan Island. Land is more valuable 
 for other purposes. 
 
 Just north of the great Chelsea pier improvement seen on the 
 right, at the foot of 46th Street, New York City is building a 
 pier for the accommodation of ships a thousand feet in length. 
 In its construction, a great coffer dam similar to that placed 
 around the hull of the Maine in Havana Harbor when it was 
 raised, was required. Within this protective dam the workmen 
 blast out the rock in order to secure the required depth. The 
 pier when completed will be the longest in the harbor jutting 
 into the Hudson River. 
 
 Stevens Point. On the New Jersey shore is Hoboken with 
 its great piers for the steamships of the Hamburg- American, 
 North German Lloyd and Holland-America Lines. The 
 prominent rock jutting out from the shore just north of the 
 piers and crowned with a castle-like structure, is Stevens Point. 
 It is occupied in part by the Stevens Institute of Technology. 
 Just under the shadow of Stevens Point on the north was the 
 Elysian Fields, New York's playground three score years ago.

 Here was committed the murder of the beautiful Mary Rogers, 
 upon which crime Poe based his well-known story, ''The 
 Mystery of Marie Roget." 
 
 Weehawken. A short distance north of Hoboken is Wee- 
 hawken. Upon a secluded grassy shelf of the lower Palisades 
 opposite West 42nd Street, no longer to be seen, Alexander 
 Hamilton and Aaron Burr, in 1804, fought their tragic duel. 
 
 Riverside Park. On the right is f oon seen a front of hand- 
 some houses crowning the tree-grown slopes of Riverside Park. 
 It begins at Seventy-second Street, the first residence being 
 that of Charles M. Schwab. This house is among the finest 
 in the United States, and an excellent example of the chateau 
 style of architecture. 
 
 Soldiers' and Sailors' Monument. At Eighty-sixth 
 Street stands this exquisite memorial, which was dedicated in 
 1902. It is circular, and modeled in the classic style with 
 Corinthian columns. 
 
 Cathedral of St. John the Divine. In the distance, at 
 110th Street, a glimpse is caught of this imposing Episcopal 
 cathedral. 
 
 Columbia University. A little above this point a view 
 is had of some of the buildings of Columbia University, which 
 was originally chartered as King's College, in the time of 
 George II. On the University grounds is the site of the battle 
 of Harlem Heights, fought on September 16, 1776, which is 
 commemorated by a tablet on one of the University buildings. 
 
 Tomb of General Grant. This great square structure of 
 white granite (the cost of which was $600,000) is conspicuous

 at the head of Riverside Park; and just beyond it the steamer 
 draws in at the 129th Street pier to take on its uptown 
 passengers. 
 
 Here a ferry crosses the river, connecting with trolley lines 
 in New Jersey. On the Manhattan Shore we notice the mag- 
 nificent steel viaduct of Riverside Drive. This Drive continues 
 for several miles northward, as the traveler will observe. 
 
 Cartnansville, the former home of John J. Audubon, the 
 great ornithologist, is soon passed, and a little later is seen Trin- 
 ity Cemetery, where he is buried. This beautiful residence 
 district is now styled Audubon Park. 
 
 The New York Institute for the Deaf and Dumb appears 
 presently on the right — a large yellow brick building, erected 
 in 1817. 
 
 Washington Heights. A mile or more in front of us, on 
 the right, in the region known as Washington Heights, is 
 visible a jutting point of land which has been called Fort 
 Washington Point for many years, its former name having 
 been Jeffrey's Hook. The wooded height behind it is known as 
 Fort Washington Park. On the summit of the hill behind the 
 Point are the remains of a fortification known as Fort Washing- 
 ton. It was the scene of one of the bitterest fights in the 
 Revolution, the untoward result of which caused Washington 
 to abandon Manhattan Island. Forts Washington and Lee, on 
 the New Jersey shore opposite, were designed to protect the 
 barrier stretched across the Hudson at this point early in the 
 Revolution to prevent the British vessels from ascending the 
 river. This obstruction consisted of two sunken sloops, two

 sunken brigs, two large ships mounted with heavy guns and 
 swivels, ^'two hundred f raise of 400 weight each," besides 
 sundry logs and other impediments. 
 
 Fort Lee. Immediately opposite on the New Jersey side, 
 rise the first cliffs of the Palisades. Upon the headland Fort 
 Lee stood in 1776. It was abandoned when Fort Washington 
 was captured by the enemy. General Washington and his 
 staff watched the defeat of his troops from these cliffs, and then 
 prepared a way of retreat into the interior of New Jersey. 
 
 A little above Fort Washington Point, on the east bank, we 
 see a stately mansion, long known as Stewart Castle, since it 
 was built by A. T. Stewart, the merchant prince of half a cen- 
 tury ago. The conspicuous residence above it is that of C. K. 
 G. Billings, owner of the once celebrated racehorse, ''J. I. C." 
 
 The Palisades, which extend sixteen miles to Piermont, 
 form a splendid, continuous, solid wall, which is, perhaps, the 
 most striking feature in the scenery of the whole river. It 
 consists of dark red ingeous rock, crystallized in columnar 
 form, and showing vertical chasms and projections, whose 
 upright lines add to the apparent height of its facade. Its 
 highest point is about 550 feet above the river; and it is be- 
 lieved that this mass of trappean rock has an equal, if not a 
 greater depth, below the river level. 
 
RAND McNALLY HUDSON RIVER GUIDE 13 
 
 The narrow space between the Pahsades and the river mar- 
 gin is now a park, owned by the States of New York and New 
 Jersey, and the natural stone cHffs will be preserved from fur- 
 ther injury by quarrymen. The tents seen scattered along the 
 river bank among its trees are those of camping parties. This 
 park now includes not only the Palisades, but practically all 
 of the west bank of the river of scenic interest, except West 
 Point, as far north as Newburgh. 
 
 New York University. Although situated at some dis- 
 tance from the river, eastward, some of the buildings can be 
 plainly seen by the traveler. The central building has a fine 
 dome, visible at a long distance. The curving colonnade in 
 front of the main building is the Hall of Fame, erected to com- 
 memorate persons who, in one way or another, have added to 
 the glory of the nation. 
 
 Spuyten Duyvil. Presently, on the right, Washington 
 Heights sink into the valley of Spuyten Duyvil, where opens 
 the Barge Canal connecting the Hudson with the Harlem 
 River. This vale marks the northern end of Manhattan Island, 
 and affords a gateway for the New York Central Railroad to 
 come out to the bank of the 
 river, which it thenceforth 
 follows closely northward 
 to Albany. 
 
 The curious name of 
 Spuyten Duyvil is said, by 
 Washington Irving in 
 ^'Diedrich Knickerbocker's 
 History of New York," to 
 be derived from a tale 
 about one of Governor 
 Peter Stuyvesant's men. 
 He had been sent to warn 
 the farmers up the river 
 that the British had landed, 
 and to summon them to the 
 defense of New Amsterdam 
 (New York) . He came to a 
 stream where there was no 
 bridge, and swore that he 
 would cross 'Tn spuyt den 
 duyvel," and plunged in, 
 only to lose his life in the 
 
 turbulent waters. Whether Soldlers' and sailors' Monument

 not remains a mystery. And the name has stuck to it — ever 
 since Irving wrote the story. 
 
 The bold promontory just north of Spuyten Duyvil was 
 formerly called Tibbet's Hill, and bore a fortification, Fort 
 Independence, which never received an attack. Upon it now 
 stands the lofty shaft of the monument to Henry Hudson, which 
 is suitably placed, because it was at the foot of this hill that 
 Hudson had his first fight with the Indians of Manhattan 
 Island, who tried to board his vessel. 
 
 Riverdale and Mt. St. Vincent. The high ground on the 
 right is known as Riverdale and Mount St. Vincent. Within 
 the latter's precincts are the Roman Catholic Convent and 
 Hospital of Mount St. Vincent. The castle-hke residence, 
 once known as 'Tout Hill," which was built by the American 
 tragedian, Edwin Forrest, is now a part of the convent, and 
 the headquarters in America of the great order of Sisters of 
 Charity of St. Vincent. The big yellow building beyond the 
 convent is the Leake and Watts Asylum. 
 
 Yonkers, seventeen miles from the Battery in New York, 
 is the first landing place of the boat after leaving New York 
 
RAND McNALLY HUDSON RIVER GUIDE 15 
 
 City. The name is supposed to be derived from the Dutch 
 words, ''Jonk Heer's," meaning ''Young lord's," and referring 
 to the young patroon, whose more southerly home the neigh- 
 borhood was. His other home was Philipse Manor house at 
 what is now Tarrytown. His manor house at Yonkers, like 
 that farther up the river, is still preserved, having been used for 
 a period as the city hall. At the present time it is owned by the 
 State, the custodian being the American Scenic and Historic 
 Preservation Society. Among the relics preserved in the old 
 house is a gallery of paintings of well-known Americans. One 
 of these is an oil portrait of Abraham Lincoln done by A. J. 
 Conant shortly before his first election to the Presidency. 
 This is the only picture ever made showing him smiling. 
 
 Yonkers is an important city, with a population of more than 
 90,000. Among its commercial establishments are an elevator 
 manufactory, hat factories, a sugar refinery, and one of the 
 largest carpet factories in the world. 
 
 The country north of Yonkers is very beautiful. Many 
 wealthy men have established fine estates overlooking the 
 river. Conspicuous among those which are visible may be seen 
 the lofty battlemented tower of "Greystone," formerly the 
 residence of Samuel J. Tilden, once Governor of New York and 
 a candidate for the Presidency. He became known throughout 
 the country as the ''Sage of Greystone." 
 
 Hastings is a short distance farther along. Directly across 
 the river is Indian Head, the highest point of the Palisades. 
 On that side also stands a stone called "Boundary Monument," 
 which marks the beginning of the boundary line between the 
 
 Columbia University

 States of New York and New Jersey, the determination of 
 which came near causing an interstate war. 
 
 Dobbs Ferry is full of reminiscences of the struggle for 
 independence. Its part in the Revolution is to be credited in 
 a measure to the fact that it was on debatable ground, and 
 partly because it was the easterly landing place of the first 
 ferry crossing the river north of the island of Manhattan. The 
 long wall of the Palisades forbade any attempts to communicate 
 with New Jersey south of Sneden's Landing opposite this point. 
 It was known as Dobb's Ferry because a man named Dobbs 
 established it. In the Revolution a battery was stationed at the 
 water's edge to protect the crossing. It was a sore vexation to 
 the British ships which wished to pass up or down the river, 
 and in 1781 it did marked damage to a squadron. 
 
 The Washington-Rochatnbeau Monument, unveiled in 
 1894, stands before the so-called Livingston Manor House in 
 Dobbs Ferry. This house is reputed to have been Washing- 
 ton's headquarters. On July 6, 1781, the French alHes here 
 joined the American army. Here Washington planned the 
 Yorktown campaign; and here he met Sir Guy Carleton of the 
 
 Grant's Tomb, Riverside Drive

 British army, May 3, 1783, and arranged for the evacuation of 
 America by the British. 
 
 Opposite this place on May 8, 1783, a British war vessel 
 fired a salute in honor of General Washington, the first salute 
 of Great Britain to the flag of the new nation. 
 
 A short distance above Dobbs Ferry, the river broadens into 
 the Tappan Zee (sea), where it reaches a width of three and 
 three-quarters miles, and a beautiful view is presented. The 
 name is derived from the Tappan Indians, a band of the Dela- 
 ware tribe once dwelling on its western shore. 
 
 The Palisades terminate here, and the observer can see the 
 opening between them and the next elevation, where the 
 Sparkill comes down from the western hills to the Hudson. 
 This deep valley gives an outlet to the Erie Railroad, and is the 
 place where the first railway reached tidewater. A long wharf 
 (Piermont Pier) extends out to the channel, and from it for 
 several years all the coal brought from the mines of Pennsyl- 
 vania by the Erie Railroad was loaded into barges and trans- 
 ported to the city. There is a monument here which marks 
 
18 RAND McNALLY HUDSON RIVER GUIDE 
 
 Philipse Manor House, Yonkers, N, Y. 
 Page 15 
 
 the grave of John C. Fremont, the 'Tathfinder" pioneer, 
 who was the first RepubUcan candidate for the Presidency. 
 
 The railway passing along the shore is the Northern New 
 Jersey branch of the Erie Railroad, extending to the city of 
 Nyack, which is seen on the left. 
 
 From the entrance of the Tappan Zee northward the eastern 
 shore is full of beauty and interest. 
 
 Irvington. Directly opposite Piermont Pier, is the town 
 of Irvington, named for Washington Irving, whose many- 
 gabled home, ^'Sunnyside," is screened by the trees close to 
 the railway track a little north of the station. 
 
 Half a mile north of Irving's residence is ^'Lyndehurst," 
 the former residence of Jay Gould, the financier, and since 
 occupied as the summer home of his daughter, Helen Gould 
 Sheppard. It is modeled after the historic Newstead Abbey, 
 the home of Lord Byron. Other handsome residences are 
 passed, beautifying the shore and interesting the traveler. 
 
 Tarrytown, a picturesque village scattered over the green 
 hills of the eastern bank and overlooking the broad sweep of the 
 Tappan Zee, is next reached. It is famous for its many old 
 
RAND McNALLY HUDSON RIVER GUIDE 19 
 
 landmarks, its elegant modern residences, and its schools. On 
 the Albany Post Road in Tarrytown, on September 23, 1780, 
 the British officer and spy, Major John Andre, having hidden 
 in his boots the incriminating documents he had received from 
 the traitor, Benedict Arnold, regarding the proposed surrender 
 of West Point, was captured by three townsmen. A monument 
 commemorating the historic event of his capture was erected 
 on the spot in 1853, but it is not visible from the river. Andre 
 was taken across the river, and a few days later was executed 
 at Tappan — a villge among the hills to the west. 
 
 Just above Tarrytown is seen the valley of Pocantico Creek, 
 the mouth of which is marked by the projection of Kingsland 
 Point. A glimpse up the valley of this creek shows the site of 
 the ancient Philipse house, its antiquated mill, end a famous 
 old bridge; and reminds one of the fact that this region has long 
 been known as Sleepy Hollow, and is identified with the legend 
 of Washington Irving. The dust of this early American writer 
 rests in the Sleepy Hollow cemetery just beyond, and beside 
 the ancient Dutch church, built in 1699. A glimpse of this, the 
 oldest church edifice in use in New York State, may be had as

 one sails past. The present bridge at the foot of the knoll is a 
 beautiful ivory colored arch of Indiana limestone, recently 
 erected by William Rockefeller to replace a smaller brick and 
 stone one. The growing traffic on the Albany Post Road had 
 made a wdder one necessary. 
 
 In his ''Legend of Sleepy Hollow" Irving wrote: ''Not far 
 from TarrA^town, perhaps about tw^o miles, there is a little 
 valley, or, rather, lap of land among high hills, which is one of 
 the quietest places in the whole world. A small brook glides 
 through it, with just murmur enough to lull one to repose, and 
 the occasional whistle of a quail, or tapping of a woodpecker, 
 is almost the only sound that ever breaks in upon the uniform 
 tranquility." ._ 
 
 Above Irving's grave the land swells into a knoll, sur- 
 mounted by the memorials of the Delavan family, a tall shaft 
 of granite, plainly visible from the river, with six marble 
 statues disposed about the pedestal of the column. 
 
 North of this church is Battle Hill, on the summit of which 
 are the remains of fortifications, and also a monument erected 
 in memory of the American soldiers w^ho fell in the Revolution.

 Near the shore, just above Kingsland Point, the splendid 
 home of William Rockefeller comes into view, near the river 
 bank. The estate and home of his famous brother, John D. 
 Rockefeller, is among the hills behind it, and about three 
 miles distant. 
 
 NYAGK TO NEWBURGH 
 
 Nyack. The town on the west bank opposite Tarrytown is 
 Nyack. It is connected with Tarrytown by a steam ferry, and 
 is the point of departure for the favorite automobile run tO' 
 Sufferns, N. Y., and the picturesque hill roads of Northern 
 New Jersey. The high hill rising abruptly from the river's 
 edge north of it is called Hook Mountain; or Point-no-Point.. 
 The devastating hand of the trap rock manufacturer well-nigh 
 destroyed the beauty of this mountain before it was stayed.. 
 The Ramapo Hills fill the horizon westward. 
 
 Ossining. Presentl}^ on the right we pass this old town 
 (formerly called Sing Sing), and note the grim walls of Sing 
 Sing Prison (founded in 1826) in plain view at the water's 
 edge. A short distance beyond, to the east, the Croton River 
 joins the Hudson, about a mile above Ossining, and just here 
 Teller's Point will be noticed, projecting into the river. The 
 mainland of this cape is called Croton Point, and the water 
 between it and the river's bank is Croton Bay. Croton Point 
 separates Tappan Zee from Haverstraw Bay, an expansion of 
 the river just above. At this point are the yards where the 
 New York Central trains change from electricity to steam and 
 vice versa. 
 
 In the waters off 
 Teller's Point, on 
 September22,1780, 
 the British man-of- 
 War Vulture lay at 
 anchor, waiting for 
 Major John Andre 
 to return from his 
 fatal conference 
 with Arnold on the 
 opposite side of the 
 river. A party of 
 Americans brought 
 a cannon from Ver- 
 planck'sPoint, sev- 
 eral miles north, 
 
 and with it forced Washington's Headq^uarters -Tappan, N. Y. 
 
22 RAND McNALLY HUDSON RIVER GUIDE 
 
 the British vessel 
 to turn down- 
 stream. This pre- 
 vented Major An- 
 dre from returning 
 to the ship, and he 
 crossed to Ver- 
 planck's Point and 
 tried to get to New 
 York by land, 
 which resulted in 
 his capture. 
 
 High Tor is the 
 prominent peak 
 whose bold foot- 
 hill rises abruptly 
 from the western 
 shore opposite 
 Croton Point. The 
 voyager may be 
 surprised to see a 
 railway train sud- 
 denly burst from 
 its northern face, 
 and race along the 
 ledge. It runs on 
 the tracks of the 
 West Shore Railroad, which here comes . out to the river 
 through a tunnel. Just beneath, Major Andre was landed from 
 his ship. Thence he walked to a house behind the village of 
 Haverstraw (whose vast brickyards are conspicuous a mile 
 farther on), which is still standing, to complete his evil mission. 
 Stony Point. Just above Haverstraw a rocky promontory 
 recalls one of the most brilliant incidents of the War for In- 
 dependence. There, on the night of July 15, 1779, the dare- 
 devil soldier, ''Mad" Anthony Wayne, stormed successfully 
 a fortress deemed almost impregnable, the British boasting 
 that it was '' a httle Gibralter." This battle is one of the most 
 famous of the Revolution. At Stony Point stands a light- 
 house erected on the site, and built of the stones of the old 
 fort so gallantly captured. Remains of the fort are visible. 
 The whole peninsula is now maintained as a public park by the 
 State, under the care of the American Scenic and Historic Pres- 
 ervation Society, at whose instance this and other beautiful 
 spots have been saved for the enjoyment of future generations.

 Verplanck's Point, on the opposite side of the river, is 
 the next place of historic interest after Stony Point. Between 
 the two, in colonial times, ran the boats of the King's Ferry, 
 on the main highway between New England and the West. The 
 plain here was the scene, in 1778, of animated and earnest 
 evolutions of soldiers of the American army, gaining efficiency 
 under Baron Steuben (later Major-General) , the German 
 nobleman who offered his services to General Washington. 
 In the Revolution it was occupied by military works to assist 
 Stony Point in covering the ferry. It changed flags as often 
 as Stony Point did. Additional interest is given to this point 
 by the fact that Henry Hudson's ship, the Half Moon, dropped 
 anchor in these waters on September 14, 1609. Beyond this 
 historic spot we glide onward till we come within view of 
 Peekskill on the east shore. 
 
 Peekskill. This is an animated town, boasting a place 
 in history. In the year 1777, the British landed here and 
 attacked a small American force, which was obliged to retreat. 
 On a high cliff overlooking the river may be seen the grounds 
 of the State Military Camp, occupied in summer by different 
 regiments of the National Guard of the State of New York. 
 Though the men live in tents in regular soldier fashion, the 
 grounds are most carefully arranged in regard to sewerage and 
 sanitation; the so-called ' 'streets" of tents are lighted by 
 electricity, the officers eat in a large mess-hall, a wharf gives 
 a convenient landing place for steamers, and a model battery 
 affords object lessons in artillery practice. When we remem- 
 ber that almost every point within sight was fortified, and that 
 every valley was a 
 camping-ground in 
 the War of the Re- 
 volution, we realize 
 that no more ap- 
 propriate spot for 
 the State encamp- 
 ment could have 
 been chosen. Visi- 
 tors are welcome at 
 the camp at suit- 
 able hours, and 
 meet with every 
 courtesy from of- 
 ficers and men.

 Beecher was in Peekskill. and ex-Senator Chauncy M. Depew 
 was born here. The scenery has been likened to that of the 
 region of Lake Como. 
 
 Dunderberg Mountain. Just above, the river takes a 
 sharp turn to the left, and the steamer passes through the 
 Southern Gate of the Highlands, in front of old Dunderberg 
 Mountain on the west bank. At the foot is Kidd's Point, 
 so caUed from the legend that here the pirate. Captain 
 Kidd. concealed some of his as yet undiscovered treasure. 
 
 The boat now enters the Highlands, one of the most 
 picturesque parts of the Hudson, where every curve of the 
 beautiful banks suggests a subject for painting. 
 
 lona Island (on the left beyond Dunderbergj, now oc- 
 cupied by the United States Government as a naval arsenal 
 and supply depot. The neat workshops and storehouses, 
 dominated by a fine tower, and the ofl&cers* quarters surroimded 
 by beautifully cultivated grounds, form a charming scene. 
 The river is so narrow between this island and its eastern shore 
 that the place is always spoken of by boatmen as ''The Race." 
 
 Bear Mountain Park is directly above lona Island on 
 the west bank. A large area of wild land, originating in 
 a gift of ^Irs. E. H. Harriman. has been set apart here 
 under the control of the Interstate Palisade Park Commis- 
 sion for the benefit of the masses of eastern New York's 
 population who need a place for rusticating. The park covers 
 many hills and vales, and includes the sequestered and storied 
 Hessian, or Black Lake, the scene of a Revolutionar\- skirmish. 
 A great amount of money has already been expended on roads 
 and pubhc conveniences. 
 
 Anthony's Nose. The high promontory' jutting from the 
 eastern bank is Anthonv's Xose. The orisin of the name of 
 
 Stony Point

 this striking hill is uncertain. One writer says that it was 
 named, not from ''Mad" Anthony, but after the large nose 
 of a Dutch sloop, whose fame is kept by tradition. Washing- 
 ton Irving, in his ingenious ''Knickerbocker's History of New 
 York," connects it with Anthony Van Corlear. Anthony had a 
 rubicund nose of unusual size. Coming upon deck early in 
 the morning while accompanying his master, Peter Stuyvesant, 
 to Fort Orange (Albany), he leaned over the quarter rail of 
 the galley. "Just at this moment the illustrious sun, breaking 
 in all its splendor from behind a high bluff of the Highlands, 
 did dart one of his most potent beams full upon the refulgent 
 nose of the sounder of brass, the reflection of which shot 
 straightway down, hissing hot, into the water, and killed a 
 mighty sturgeon that was sporting beside the vessel." This 
 "astounding miracle" becoming known to Stuyvesant, he 
 bestowed the name of "Anthony's Nose" upon the promontory 
 in the neighborhood. 
 
 A short distance farther on Poplopen Creek flows down to the 
 Hudson from the west through a deep and pretty ravine. On 
 the south side stood Fort Montgomery, and on the north side 
 Fort Clinton. These forts were taken by the British in 1777, 
 under Sir Henry Clinton, in an effort to reheve General Bur- 
 goyne, who was in great straits in the valley of the upper 
 Hudson, and the British ships made their way up the river in 
 spite of the great chain stretched across it here. The residence 
 of the late J. Pierpont Morgan stands on the west bank at 
 Highland Falls, a little back from the river, and is partly 
 hidden from view by trees, though its gabled roof and tall 
 flagstaff are well in view. Just above is the residence of the 
 late John Bigelow, and directly opposite, on the east shore, 
 rises Mount Sugarloaf, while Beverly Dock (named for 
 
 lona Island, U. S. Government Naval Arsenal and Supply Depot

 escape to England. 
 
 Comparison is constantly made between the Hudson and 
 the Rhine. The latter, above Cologne, is strikingly similar to 
 our noble river in natural aspect, barring the Palisades. The 
 German mountains that hem in the river at Rudesheim and 
 Bingen are much like the Highlands now closing about us, 
 and the crags of the Lorelei look much like those of Anthony's 
 Nose. In the cities and villages seen along their course, how- 
 ever, the two rivers differ greatly, and the half-ruined castles 
 studding the crests of the Rhine hills are a feature notably 
 absent along the Hudson, where tumble-down buildings are 
 not popular. 
 
 West Point. But as the steamer passes Conn's Hook 
 Island and swerves slightly toward the left, one finds confront- 
 ing him a terraced mass of buildings which are greater and 
 more picturesque than anything along the Rhine — the splendid 
 edifices at West Point. As one approaches, up-stream, they

 gradually define themselves. Nearest and lowest is the Power 
 House, with a bastion-like chimney, beyond which the massive 
 Riding School presents a fort-like front, very tall from its 
 base, yet the roof is so low as not to obstruct the charming 
 view obtained from the level of the Parade Ground, to which 
 the winding road ascends from the station. On this level stands 
 the Administration Building, whose beautiful square tower, 
 where flies the post flag, is grandly conspicuous at the right. 
 The beautiful white building beyond is Memorial Hall. The 
 other buildings of the Military Academy, and the residence of 
 the officers of the post and of the Academy, form a lovely 
 scene as they circle about the great Parade. On the heights 
 behind is the striking, fortress-Hke chapel, and the remains of 
 the Revolutionary work, Fort Putnam. The latter was erected 
 to protect Fort Clinton, which occupied the point below. It 
 is easy to see what a formidable fortress this was and why its 
 surrender to the British by Benedict Arnold would have been 
 a well-nigh fatal blow. It was the key to the control of the 
 Hudson River, so all-important

 The Chain-Battery walk, now better known as Fhrtation 
 walk, is a wooded path running from Kosciusko's garden north- 
 ward to Gee's Point (the lighthouse point), near which was the 
 battery that defended the chain stretched across the river in 
 Revolutionary days. No one who can do so should deny him- 
 self the pleasure of stopping off a day at West Point. No river 
 view in the United States surpasses that northward from the 
 Victory monument on the northern verge of the Parade, and 
 the stately column, upon whose summit McMonnie's winged 
 figure of Victory stands lightly poised, forms a splendid feature 
 in the scene as the traveler looks back after rounding ''the 
 Point," or approaches from up-stream. On the slopes facing 
 north are the batteries which the cadets utilize in their study 
 of the subject of artillery. The rural town directly opposite 
 West Point is Garrisons, where many families of prominence 
 have their homes. A high hill south of the village is crowned 
 by the castle-like dwelling of Mr. Osborne; and the Dick place 
 is conspicuous just above Garrisons — an Italian villa adapted 
 to its mountain site. 
 
30 RAND McNALLY HUDSON RIVER GUIDE 
 
 Constitution Island. Just where the river bends west- 
 ward around West Point, the steamer passes, on its right hand. 
 Constitution Island, at which point a second ineffective chain 
 was thrown across during the Revolution to obstruct the 
 passage of British ships. A number of the links of the chain are 
 preserved on the plateau north of the Parade Ground at West 
 Point. The island was named from Fort Constitution, which 
 was built there in the days of the Revolution, but was taken 
 by the British in 1777 and destroyed. For many years this 
 island was the home of the Misses Warner, authors of ''The 
 Wide, Wide World," and many other favorite stories. Miss 
 Susan Warner died in 1885, and Miss Anna Warner died in 
 January, 1915. The island was presented to the Government 
 by Mrs. Russell Sage and Miss Warner as a site for a prepara- 
 tory school for West Point. 
 
 Old Cro' Nest. A highly picturesque elevation is seen on 
 the west bank, north of West Point, called "Old Cro' Nest 
 Mountain." Cro' Nest is hnked in American Hterature with 
 Joseph Rodman Drake's fairy story in verse, 'The Culprit 
 Fay." Still farther north we arrive at the Northern Gate of 
 the Highlands.

 Breakneck and Storm King Mountains. We pass Cold 
 Spring and Bull Hill (or Mount Taurus) on the right, and then 
 admiration and wonder are divided between two attractions — 
 Breakneck Mountain on the east, and grand old Storm King on 
 the west, standing as keepers of the Northern Gate. The tunnel 
 of the great new Catskill Aqueduct, which is to provide water 
 in endless quantity for drought-threatened New York City, 
 passes under the Hudson at Storm King, at a depth of about 
 1100 feet. A shaft of this height was required because of the 
 extreme depth of the channel of the prehistoric Hudson. It 
 was necessary to have the siphon encased in solid rock in 
 order to withstand the enormous weight and pressure of such 
 a volume of water as that carried by the new Aqueduct. The 
 total cost of the whole construction of the Aqueduct will be 
 about $160,000,000. A State road is being built around 
 Storm King. 
 
 Just above Storm King we pass through the Northern Gate 
 and make a turn to the left that brings us to Cornwall, near 
 which are the estates of the late E. P. Roe, the writer, and 
 ''Idlewild," the former home of Nathaniel Parker Willis, the

 poet, editor, and dilettante. He it was who gave ''Storm 
 King" its poetic name. Here, also, is the home of Lyman 
 Abbott. This region abounds in reminiscences of American 
 literary life a century or less ago. 
 
 Bannerman's Island. Opposite Cornwall is Bannerman's 
 Island arsenal. The owner, Francis Bannerman, who pur- 
 chases a large proportion of the obsolete war material sold 
 by the United States Government, has established his store 
 houses here. Constructed in the style of a castle from the 
 worn blocks taken from the streets of New York, they house 
 the equipment of an army. 
 
 NEWBURGH TO KINGSTON 
 
 Newburgh. A quiet stretch of water brings us next to 
 another of Washington's headquarters, near Newburgh, the 
 terraces of which rise from the left bank to the lawn about 
 the old stone house. A flag flying from the flag staff and 
 a Tower of Victory mark the historic spot. Newburgh, now an 
 important manufacturing city of 30,000 inhabitants, was 
 settled in 1709, and Washington selected it for his headquarters 
 in 1782. Here he formally disbanded his army in 1783. 
 The headquarters building is now kept as a museum, within 
 which are many interesting arms, documents and other relics 
 of the Revolution. A catalogue obtainable on the premises 
 gives a particular description of all objects, but most of them 
 are labeled with intelligence. The block of brownstone near 
 the entrance is a monument over the grave of Uzal Knapp, the 
 last survivor of General Washington's Life Guard, who died 
 in 1856, at the age of ninety-nine. The Tower of Victory stands 
 on the northeast corner of the Headquarter's ground, and is 
 clearly visible from the river. It is a stone tower 53 feet high, 
 with four large archways that open into an atrium, in the 
 center of which is a bronze statue of General Washington. 
 Resting in niches in the walls are four bronze figures repre- 
 senting the four arms of the service in the Army of the Revolu- 
 tion, wearing the costumes of the time^uniforms of the dra- 
 goon, the artilleryman, the rifleman, and the line-officer. 
 An inscription on the exterior wall east, under a figure of 
 Peace, reads : ''This monument was erected under the authority 
 of the Congress of the United States, and of the State of New 
 York, in commemoration of the disbandment, under proclama- 
 tion of the Continental Congress of October 18, 1783, of the 
 armies by whose patriotic and military virtue our national 
 independence and sovereignty were established." The cost 
 of the monument was $67,000. Orange Lake is situated about 
 
34 RAND McNALLY HUDSON RIVER GUIDE 
 
RAND McNALLY HUDSON RIVER GUIDE 35 
 
 six miles from Newburgh, and is easily reached by trolley. 
 The lake is three miles long and here the visitor will find many 
 attractions, including Boating, Fishing, Dancing, and Roller 
 Skating. 
 
 Beacon (Formerly Fishkill-on-Hudson). Immediately 
 opposite the city of Newburgh, and connected by ferry, is 
 Beacon (now incorporated with Matteawan). A convent for 
 Catholic Sisters is noticeable. About a mile back from the 
 river the traveler will find the ancient town of Matteawan, 
 with its State Hospital for the criminal insane, and old Fishkill 
 Village, which saw exciting times in the Revolution, for here, 
 after the British drove the Americans out of New York City, 
 the patriots held their legislative meetings in the churches. 
 J. Fenimore Cooper used Fishkill Village as a setting for his 
 fine Revolutionary novel, ''The Spy." 
 
 Beacon Mountains. Back of Matteawan rise the Beacon 
 Mountains, so called because on their heights beacon fires 
 were lighted as signals in the Revolution. A monument erected 
 on one of these hills marks the spot where the flame was kindled. 
 The highest of the group is 1635 feet, and its summit is now 
 easily reached by means of a cable railway — said to be the 
 steepest of its kind in the world — which carries excursionists 
 in summer to a cool pleasure resort overlooking a vast land- 
 scape. On the right bank, a short distance above Beacon, is 
 visible the old Verplanck House, famous as the scene of the 
 organization of the Society of the Cincinnati, a society of the 
 United States established by the officers of the Revolutionary 
 army in 1783, ''to perpetuate their friendship, and to raise a 
 fund for relieving the widows and orphans of those who fell 
 in the war." In this house Baron Steuben in the Revolution 
 had his headquarters, and the legislature held its sessions before 
 going to Kingston. Here at Fishkill, Lafayette lay ill with a 
 fever, and here Enoch Crosby, the hero of Cooper's ''Spy," 
 is supposed to have been confined in a church. 
 
 Devil's Danskammer. After leaving Newburgh, the first 
 place passed is Carthage Landing, on the east bank. On the 
 west bank, at the next turn of the river, stands a lighthouse, 
 called "the Devil's Danskammer," on a point showing a grove 
 of cedar trees, where Henry Hudson had the privilege of be- 
 holding an Indian "pow-wow." The crag was thenceforth 
 known as the Devil's Danskammer, or Devil's Dance Hall, for 
 the dancing of the Indians around the camp fire seemed to the 
 Dutch nothing less than a dance of fiends. Wappinger's 
 Creek, small but important as an ancient boundary, flows into 
 the Hudson on the right, above the hghthouse, and near it is 
 
36 RAND McNALLY HUDSON RIVER GUIDE 
 
 Gee's Point Lighthouse 
 Page 29 
 
 West Point 
 
 the old German settlement known as New Hamburg, opposite 
 which may be observed Hampton Point, where grow beautiful 
 white cedar trees, the finest of their kind along the river. The 
 Creek is named after the Wappinger Indians, once a powerful 
 tribe. 
 
 Marlborough. On the high west bank are seen the spires 
 and housetops of Marlborough one of the oldest and pleasant- 
 est villages along the river, where many men of wealth have 
 their summer homes. It had the distinction of a bombardment 
 during the Revolutionary war. A few miles beyond it is Milton, 
 another old town, originally a settlement of Quakers, and just 
 above it on the east bank is still to be seen a residence marked 
 by a square central tower, which was the home of the late 
 S. F. B. Morse, inventor of the electric telegraph. Not far 
 below ''Locust Grove," Morse's home, the Milton horse boat 
 plied for many years to and fro across the river. At the eastern 
 end of the ferry in Revolutionary days stood the smithy of 
 Theophilus Anthony. Here he worked upon the chain used 
 to obstruct the river at Fort Montgomery. 
 
RAND McNALLY HUDSON RIVER GUIDE 37 
 
 Poughkeepsie, For some time the populous city of Pough- 
 keepsie has been in view, and on a nearer approach we pass the 
 brick buildings of the Vassar Hospital, and just beyond it 
 Riverview Academy, with flagstaff and cannon on its lawn. 
 The steamer slows down and stops at a wharf in a charming 
 little park, seventy-four miles from New York. Poughkeepsie 
 was settled by the Dutch near the end of the Seventeenth 
 Century, and in 1788 the New York Legislature met here to 
 ratify the Federal Constitution. Following the burning of 
 Kingston it became in 1778 the capital of New York. Several 
 educational institutions are situated in Poughkeepsie, chief 
 among which is Vassar College for women, the buildings of 
 which are not visible from the river. The city has a variety of 
 industries employing several millions of capital. 
 
 The Cantilever Bridge. Spanning the river at this city 
 is one of the longest cantilever bridges in the world; it is 
 12,608 feet long, and the tracks upon it are 212 feet above 
 tide-water. The cornerstone of this bridge was laid in 1873, 
 but the construction went no further at that time. Not 
 until September, 1886, was it resumed, and it was finished 
 
 Constitution Island At Right

RAXD McNALLY HUDSON RIVER GUIDE 39 
 
 in January, 1889. It was then entirely for railway use, with 
 a double track, but since that time it has had a foot path 
 added. One or two venturesome athletes, seeking notoriety 
 or money, have dropped from the center of the bridge and sur- 
 vived the mad attempt. The cost of the entire structure was 
 approximately 83,500,000. It connects New England directly 
 with the coal fields of Pennsylvania, being the only bridge 
 over the Hudson south of Albany. In June each year the 
 crews of several universities unite in a regatta terminating 
 near the bridge. Among them are usually to be found Cornell, 
 Columbia, and the University of Pennsylvania. 
 
 A conspicuous object from the river at this point is the 
 Parthenon Building, on College Hill. The latter w^as pre- 
 sented to the citv of Poughkeepsie as a pubHc park by 
 Mr. W. W. Smith. 
 
 Hudson River State Hospital is brought into view^ as 
 the voyage continues, and is noticeable by its red brick build- 
 ings, which are passed on the right; and a little farther on 
 the imposing structure of St. Andrews' College, a Catholic 
 institution of learning. 
 
 Hyde Park. Next north Hes Hyde Park, the center of a 
 beautiful, restricted residential district, formed of elegant 
 dw^elhng-places and fine parks, which extends northward for 
 several miles. The great estate a short distance beyond the 
 Hyde Park Station is that of Frederick W. Vanderbilt. It 
 is a magnificent mansion, with Corinthian columns of white 
 marble. 
 
 On the west bank is seen Manresa Institute, a Catholic 
 orphan asylum under the management of the Sisters of the 
 White Cross.

 Home of John Burroughs. About three miles farther, 
 amid vineyards on the west bank, stands the unpretentious 
 dwelUng of John Burroughs, the well-beloved naturalist and 
 writer, just above which is the Episcopal Monastery of the 
 Brothers of the Holy Cross. Two miles farther on we see 
 the ancient town of Esopus, and in the middle of the river 
 Esopus Island, a favorite camping-ground for fishermen and 
 picnickers. ''Rosemont," the fine residence of Hon. Alton B. 
 Parker, once the Democratic candidate for the Presidency, 
 stands on a hill near the water on the left of the island, and 
 the large edifice of gray stone just beyond his home is the 
 CathoHc (Dominican) Convent. On the east bank two fine 
 estates will be noticed, that of D. Ogden Mills, and just 
 above it, that of the late W. B. Dinsmore, formerly president 
 of the Adams Express Company. 
 
 Esopus Lighthouse. A marked curve in the river here 
 brings us to Esopus Lighthouse on a point, back of which 
 a httle to the north, is Hussy's Mountain, 1000 feet high. 
 Opposite, on the high ground of the right bank is seen as we 
 proceed, the beautiful country home of Levi P. Morton, the 
 
 Breakneck Mountain

 venerable ex-Vice-President of the United States, and the 
 ex-Governor of the state of New York. 
 
 Rondout Lighthouse. At the town of Rhinechff, on the 
 right bank, is a ferry connecting it with Rondout, one of the 
 most important shipping points between New York and 
 Albany. Just across the river, and in mid-stream stands the 
 Rondout Lighthouse, at the mouth of Rondout Creek. Rond- 
 out is a part of the city of Kingston, the center of which lies 
 three miles inland. On the shore, at Kingston Point, is a 
 spacious park with attractive amusements, thronged every 
 summer evening by merry-makers. This is the river terminus 
 of the Ulster & Delaware Railroad, whose trains carry excur- 
 sionists and health seekers to all parts of the southern and 
 central Catskills. 
 
 Above Rhinecliff, on the east bank, a conspicuous object 
 is the Astor Squash Court, a large white building on a hill, 
 which is part of the property of Vincent Astor, son of the late 
 John Jacob Astor. ^'Ferncliff," Mr. Astor's splendid residence 
 stands at the river side, just beyond the Squash Court. 
 
 Kingston is one of the oldest towns in the State, having 
 originally had a charter in 1661, granted by Governor Stuyve- 
 sant. It was then called Wiltwyck, but later this was changed 
 to Kingston by its British governor. The old Senate-house, 
 built in 1676, a low, stone structure still standing, was the

 first meeting place of the legislature, which convened there 
 in September, 1777. In this building, which is now a State 
 museum, on Sunday, April 20, 1777, New York's first consti- 
 tution was adopted. George CUnton, afterward a Vice Presi- 
 dent of the United States, was inaugurated here on July 30, 
 1777, the first governor of the new State. Here on September 
 9, the same year, Chief Justice Jay opened the first State 
 court. A number of the old stone houses of the town's early 
 days still stand, among them being the birthplace of John 
 Vanderlyn, the painter. 
 
 KINGSTON TO COXSACKIE 
 
 A straight ''reach" above Rhinebeck takes us past Barry- 
 town on the right, and we notice an oddly shaped promontory 
 called Cruger's Island, as it has long been a part of the estate 
 of Colonel J. C. Cruger. Just before the boat reaches Cruger's 
 Point on the east bank it passes Annandale, the former home 
 of the widow of General Richard Montgomery, who was killed 
 December 31, 1775, while conducting the attack upon Quebec. 
 In 1818, his dust was brought down the Hudson on the steamer 
 Richmond with great funeral pomp. As it passed Annandale, 
 his white-haired widow sat alone on the porch of the house 
 where she could see it. They had been married only two years 
 when he went away on the Quebec expedition. His remains 
 were deposited in St. Paul's, New York, where they now rest 
 beneath a monument which all Broadway may see in passing. 
 
 Livingston Manor House. Just north of Tivoh is the 
 manor house of the old Livingston family, named ''Clermont," 
 in honor of which Robert Fulton named his steamboat, 
 which made its first trip up the Hudson River in 1807. It was 
 here that Fulton stopped over night with the Clermont when 
 
Page 35 
 
Here tnat _b uiton stopped o^

 making the epochal voyage to Albany in that year. From 
 Tivoli, a ferry runs to Saugerties, a prosperous manufactur- 
 ing town on the west bank. Tivoli gains its name from the 
 ^^chateau" erected there before the Revolution by one of the 
 Livingstons. It was later occupied by the family of the late 
 Colonel J. L. DePeyster. 
 
 Germantown. Maiden and West Camp on the west bank, 
 and Germantown on the east bank, settled by German refugees 
 from the Palatinate, early in the eighteenth century, are passed 
 next, but the eyes of the traveler will rest most often on 
 the summits of the Catskill Mountains, which are in full 
 view for about two hours. 
 
 Catskill Mountains. The Catskills cover over 2400 square 
 miles, with their base about three miles from the river. The 
 name is a Dutch word, in allusion to the catamounts once 
 found among these hills. The view of the mountains from 
 this part of the river is very fine. One's gaze reaches to the 
 very head of Kaaterskill Clove, where, by the aid of a strong 
 glass, the cottages and hotels at Twilight Park and Haine's 
 Falls may be discerned, and south of that great glen are seen 
 the graceful summits beyond Overlook, which smile down on 
 
 Mount Beacon Incline Railway.

 Formerly lines of stages ran from the village to the mountain 
 and then slowly made their way up to the spot where the 
 Catskill Mountain House is still standing on the brink of 
 the crest. This is tlie oldest summer hotel in these mountains. 
 Himdreds of other excellent summer hotels and boarding 
 houses, includiiiii the greater Kaaterskill Hotel nearby, are now 
 in full operation each summer. In 1882 a railroad was built 
 to the foot of the mountain, and ten years later the incline 
 cable railway, which shows as a white streak against the green 
 slope, was put into operation, carrying travelers in a few 
 moments to the plateau formerly reached by a roundabout 
 coach trip. 
 
 Kaaterskill Clove. About a mile west of Catskill Village 
 the creek receives a lively tributary from the south called 
 Kaaterskill, which flows down from the great ravine of Kaaters- 
 kill Clove. This deep gorge separates South Mountain from 
 High Peak, the loftiest point of the front range as seen from 
 the Hudson, and its natural beauty sustains the legendary 
 interest with which Indian tradition and the imagination 
 of Irving have endowed the Clove, for this is the scene of the 
 story of Rip Van Winkle. While Irving may have left indefi-

 nite the precise spot — if any he had in view — as the locaUty 
 of the imaginary adventures of Rip Van Winkle, common con- 
 sent for many years has made this Clove and ''Rip's Rock" 
 the place. No intelligent person, probably, believes that such 
 a character ever really existed, or had had such an experience 
 but it is not surprising that many believe the story to have 
 been derived from a tradition in circulation among the Dutch 
 pioneers, and handed down tolrving's time. Irving did nothing 
 more, as indeed he hints in a footnote, than to rewrite, with 
 his humorous grace, and apply to the Catskills and the Dutch 
 character, a superstition that had reappeared in every Euro- 
 pean land and nation since the earliest times, that certain 
 notable persons were not really dead, but were only sleeping, 
 or imprisoned in the earth, awaiting the termination of a 
 period, or the breaking of a spell, or some other event, that 
 should set them free. 
 
 State Reformatory for Women. Leaving Catskill on 
 the right, is Roger's Island. This passed, the height of Mount 
 Merino rises into view, and the steamer swings into the land- 
 ing at Hudson. Mount Merino is so called because in the 
 first*decade of the last century the whole territory was given

 the propagation of

 a fad. 
 
 Hudson. This 
 interesting old 
 town, whence arail- 
 way runs to the 
 Berkshire region of 
 Massachusetts, was 
 named, it is hardly 
 necessary to say, 
 after Henry Hud- 
 son. In early days, despite its distance from the ocean, it carried 
 on a flourishing whaling industry, which was established in 1784 
 by a company of energetic New Englanders from Nantucket, 
 Providence, and Martha's Vineyard. The town of Hudson was 
 also formerly a ship-building community and a port of entry. 
 
 Four-mile Point is four miles above Hudson. It is oppo- 
 site the broad estuary of Stockport Creek, on the farther bank 
 of which lived Martin Van Buren, once President of the 
 United States. The village of Coxsackie is next passed, on 
 the left, followed by a succession of low islands — Cox- 
 sackie, Rattlesnake 
 
 (with a light- 
 house), Bronk, and 
 Houghtaling. Next 
 to Houghtaling 
 Island on the north 
 is lower Schodack 
 Island, on which is 
 a meeting point of 
 four counties, Co- 
 lumbia, Rensselaer,

 It may be added tnat Albany is of interest historically 
 because it was the meeting; place of the Continental Congress of 
 1754, in which all the Colonies north of Virginia convened by 
 
elegant estates ana 
 rich farms.

 COXSACKIE TO ALBANY AND TROY 
 
 The upper part of the river has been made fit for the navi- 
 gation of large boats at all seasons by engineering works of 
 great skill and magnitude, in which the State and Federal 
 governments and private enterprise have combined to make 
 a grand commercial waterway through naturally uncertain 
 curves and shallows. Within recent years this has been 
 perfected and made permanent at prodigious cost by the 
 erection all along the channel of the concrete dykes, with 
 which the traveler becomes familiar as he reaches the upper 
 river. These confine and deepen the current, and utilize the 
 spring flood to sweep out any deposits that may have ac- 
 cumulated in the quieter summer stream. 
 
 Albany. The voyage draws to its close, and presently 
 we come within sight of the buildings of a great city, and behold 
 
 Four-Mile Point Light 
 Page 48 
 
 on a hill, the capitol buildings of the Empire State. We have 
 reached Albany, the capital of the State of New York. The 
 capitol building was many years in process of erection, 
 and cost twenty-three millions of dollars. 
 
 Albany claims to be the second permanent settlement made 
 in the thirteen original states. In 1614 the Dutch established 
 a trading post here, and in 1624 several families arrived from 
 Holland, and erected a fort, which they called Fort Orange. 
 The settlement was first called Beverwyck, but when the 
 British took possession of it in 1664, its name was changed 
 to Albany, for the Duke of York and Albany, who later became 
 James II. It was incorporated as a city in 1686, and was made 
 the capital of the State of New York in 1797. 
 
 It may be added that Albany is of interest historically 
 because it was the meeting place of the Continental Congress of 
 1754, in which all the Colonies north of Virginia convened by 
 
50 
 
 RAND McNALLY HUDSON RIVER GUIDE 
 
RAND McNALLY HUDSON RIVER GUIDE 51 
 
 delegates to discuss the proposal of a federal union. The plan 
 proposed by Benjamin Franklin was agreed to, but none of 
 the Colonies would ratify it because it delegated too much 
 power to the general government, while the King refused to 
 approve of it, because it did not go far enough in that direction. 
 It served as a very important starting point for the stable 
 Union which was to follow a few years later. 
 
 Climbing the wide street from the water front to the heights 
 upon which Albany is spread out, one discovers that there 
 are other buildings besides the great capitol worthy of a 
 visit. There is the new State Education Building dedicated 
 in June, 1912. This is an imposing building 659.6 feet long 
 designed in the classical style with fluted Corinthian pillars. 
 Together with the site it cost approximately $4,000,000. 
 Other buildings of architectural interest are the North Dutch 
 Church, St. Peter's Church, ''one of the richest specimens 
 of French Gothic in this country," the cathedral of All Saints, 
 with beautifull}' carved choir stalls, and the cathedral of 
 the Immaculate Conception, with lofty double spires. 
 
 A few years ago the State appropriated funds for the pres- 
 ervation of Albany's chief historical relic, the Schuyler man-

 sion, standing on an elevated point on the south side of the 
 city. It was built of yellow brick in the years 1671-2 for Philip 
 Schuyler, the courteous and chivalric general who contributed 
 to the success of the Revolutionary army which captured 
 Burgoyne near Saratoga. In this house Alexander Hamilton 
 was married to Elizabeth Schuyler, and here General Schuyler 
 entertained at one time or another the leaders on the business 
 of the Revolution. Following the battles of Saratoga, Burgoyne, 
 Baron and Baroness Riedesel and Major Ackland and his 
 wife, of the captured British army, were hospitably sheltered 
 beneath its roof. 
 
 Opposite Albany is the point beyond which Henry Hudson 
 was unable to go with the Half Moon, and where he, on Septem- 
 ber 20, 1609, put over a boat which proceeded north to the 
 neighborhood of Troy. 
 
 Albany is the key point in the transportation system of 
 the State, for nearby is the terminus of the old Erie and 
 Champlain canals, and here the Boston and Albany and 
 Delaware and Hudson Railroads meet the New York Central. 
 Here we can take train for Buffalo and Chicago, the Thous- 
 and Islands, the Adirondacks, Saratoga, Lakes George and 
 Champlain, Montreal, Vermont and the Green Mountains, 
 the Berkshires, and Boston. The city has grown twenty 
 times its size of a century ago, and now has a population 
 exceeding 100,000. 
 
 Troy. The water power furnished by the Cohoes Falls in 
 the Mohawk River and the Hudson River have been marked 
 influences in the growth of this section. On the west 
 side of the river bordering the canals is Watervliet where 
 is located the United States gun factory. North of 
 this place is Cohoes, an important cotton manufacturing city. 
 On the opposite side of the river at the head of steamboat 
 navigation is Troy, a city of more than 75,000 population. 
 It is noted for its manufactures of shirts, collars, and cuffs. 
 Other important manufactures are iron and steel, foundry 
 and machine shop products, laundry machinery, engineering 
 instruments, hosiery and knit goods and stoves. It has more 
 than $25,000,000 capital invested in industrial plants. Troy 
 is the seat of Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, one of the 
 leading schools of its class in the country, and of the Emma 
 Willard Seminary, one of the pioneers among American insti- 
 tutions for the higher education of women. Troy was settled 
 by New Englanders in 1787. Four bridges cross the Hudson 
 at this point. Just above it the new barge canal enters the 
 Hudson.

 Rand McNally & Company s 
 
 Celebrated Indexed Pocket 
 
 and Vest Pocket Maps 
 
 The following are a few of the important features that have 
 made the Rand-McNally Pocket and Vest Pocket Maps the Standard 
 of authority everywhere: 
 
 Population acco rding to the latest official census. 
 
 All new boundary lines and changes in surveys are s hown. 
 
 All Electric and Steam roads are clearly indicated. 
 
 The Electric roads are printed in bright red or in black 
 character to distinguish them from the Steam roads. 
 
 All Steam roads built during the year, and extensions 
 building, are outlined on the new Maps. 
 
 All new post offices and express offices are mentioned. 
 
 These pocket editions differ from the more expensive Wall Maps 
 
 only in size and convenience of the pocket form. Every detail has 
 been entered in these small maps in the same painstaking and careful 
 way as in the larger ones, thus maintaining a standard of accuracy 
 and authority.
