N O stream in America is so rich in legends and 
historic associations as the Hudson. From 
ocean to source every mile of it is crowded 
with reminders of the early explorers, of the Indian wars, 
of the struggle of the colonies, and of the quaint, peace¬ 
ful village existence along its banks in the early days of 
the Republic. Before the explorers came, the river 
figured to a great extent in the legendary history of the 
Indian tribes of the East. Mr. Bacon is well equipped 
for the undertaking of a book of this sort, and the story 
he tells is of national interest. 
The volume is illustrated with views taken especially 
for this work and with many rare old prints now first 
published in book form.
