Dunwell presents a rich portrait of the Hudson and of the visionary people whose deep relationship with the river inspires changes in American history and culture. Lavishly illustrated with color plates of Hudson River School paintings, period engravings, and glass plate photography, The Hudson captures the spirit of the river through the eyes of its many admirers. It shows the crucial role of the Hudson in the shaping of Manhattan, the rise of the Empire State, and the trajectory of world trade and global politics, as well as the river's influence on art and architecture, engineering, and conservation.Human ecologyNew York (State)Hudson HighlandsPublic opinionUnited StatesHudson Highlands (N.Y.)HistoryHudson River (N.Y. and N.J.)HistoryHudson Highlands (N.Y.)Environmental conditionsHudson River (N.Y. and N.J.)Environmental conditionsHudson Highlands (N.Y.)HistorySourcesHudson River (N.Y. and N.J.)HistorySourcesHudson River (N.Y. and N.J.)Public opinionHuman ecologyPublic opinion974.7/3Dunwell Frances F.1196954Dunwell Frances F1196954MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910809347903321Hudson4017348UNINA
