The Traveler's Guide to the Hudson River Valley: From Saratoga Springs to New York City

On the mark and very interesting. I want to make some trips to the Hudson Valley.

I read this lovely book for genealogical purposes. The migratory path of our family was from Westchester County in the 1600s to Schoharie County in the 1800s. There are a few towns mentioned here where our people had lived. The book begins in Albany going toward New York City. I read it backwards one chapter at a time to really make the trip in the same direction that our family went! Who knows if I will really take this trip? I collected travel brochures on France for a dozen years and then I really went three times. When I take this trip I am bringing this guide.

We purchased this book for our INN guests who are interested in learning more about the interesting history of the Hudson Valley of NY. We have owned it for about 3 weeks and at least 5 guests have taken it overnight to read and each guest has returned it to us with very positive comments on the accuracy of the contents. We highly recommend this book for anyone who is going to visit the Hudson Valley of NY! Pat and Bill, Innkeepers

I have used this book on many of my forages into the Hudson River region and I have always found its inspired commentary, accurate information and insightful observations make it the perfect book for exploring this region. I highly recommend this book for all who visit and seek more information about the Hudson River Valley.

This guidebook to the historic Hudson River Valley, one of America's most beautiful and significant regions, is more than the usual travel book--it has a real literary flair to it.
