We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Life along the Hudson" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

This volume is a set of kaleidoscopic impressions of life along the Hudson, from its earliest days to the present,writes Allan Keller in his Preface. Kellers impressions encompass the scope of history, art, and literature, to tell the story of the majestic Hudson River and the life along its banks. The book provides a picture of life along the river at every step of the way, including facts and fables, legends and living realities. It is the story of sloops and steamers, shad fishing and ice cutting, the splendor of the Palisades and the stately homes of the well-born. From Revolutionary battles to the Hudson River School of painting, life along the river through the ages comes to life in Kellers kaleidoscopic view of one of our great national treasures.

NEW NETHERLAND, 1621
This map, entitled "Americ Septentrionalis Pars," was made by A. Jacobsen for the Dutch
West India Company in 1621. It shows New Netherland and the Atlantic coastline of North
and Central America. Only a very small portion of the Hudson River beyond its mouth
appears on this map.

NEW NETHERLAND IN THE TIME OF MINUIT
From a survey made sometime during the period 1626-1632, while Peter Minuit was Director, the map opposite, of
New Netherland was produced c. 1665 by Johannes Vingboon (variant spellings of his name appear as Vingboons and
Vingboom). This map shows a much greater portion of the Hudson River, here labeled "De Noorde Rivier" or North
River. A modem map showing the full length of the Hudson River serves as the Frontispiece in this volume.
