From 1776 to 1780, with major battles fought at Saratoga, Fort Montgomery, and Stony Point, the region was a central battleground of the Revolution. In addition, it witnessed some of the most dramatic and memorable aspects of the war, such as Benedict Arnold's failed conspiracy at West Point, the burning of New York's capital at Kingston, and the more than six-hundred-mile march of Washington and the Continental Army and Jean Baptiste Donatien de Vimeur, comte de Rochambeau, and his French Expeditionary Corps to Yorktown, Virginia. Compiled from essays that appeared in the Hudson Valley Regional Review and the Hudson River Valley Review, published by the Hudson River Valley Institute, the book illustrates the richly textured history of this supremely important time and place. 410 0$aSUNY series, an American region. 606 $aHISTORY / United States / Revolutionary Period (1775-1800)$2bisacsh 607 $aNew York (State)$xHistory$yRevolution, 1775-1783 607 $aHudson River Valley (N.Y. and N.J.)$xHistory$y18th century 615 7$aHISTORY / United States / Revolutionary Period (1775-1800). 676 $a974.7/03 701 $aJohnson$b James M.$f1947 June 28-$01801597 701 $aPryslopski$b Christopher$f1974-$01801598 701 $aVillani$b Andrew$f1986-$01801599 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910960599003321 996 $aKey to the northern country$94346955 997 $aUNINA
