130 VIEW NEAR POUGHKEEPSIE. 



VIEW NEAR POUGHKEEPSIE. 



The view was taken near Crum Elbow Point, between 

 Hyde Park and Poughkeepsie. This Point is a low rocky 

 projection causing the river to describe a sudden curve, about 

 a mile below the village of Hyde Park. The hills on the 

 opposite side are quite high, and in some places precipitous, 

 and from their summit very extensive and charming views 

 may be obtained whether the spectator cast his eyes to the 

 North or the South. The variety of sail seen coming up 

 the river with a fair wind will be recognized a s a familiar sight 

 to any one at all conversant with the Hudson River.
