Author Bio
In Hudson River, from New York City to Albany, author Irwin Richman, professor at Pennsylvania State University-Harrisburg, takes us on a tour of the Northeast's most famous and important waterway. Here are the political battles for its control, the celebrations of its mystique that has attracted artists for generations, and the quiet, compelling history of dozens of communities from the capital to New York City, all of which were indelibly shaped by the powerful, mysterious Hudson.
