{"product_id":"the-hudson-1","title":"The Hudson","description":"\u003cp\u003eA prolific writer of prose, poetry, and regional history, Carl Carmer first gained national attention with Stars Fell n Alabama, a book about Alabama folkways. But it is his writings about upstate New York, where he was born and lived for much of his life, that firmly established him as a folk historian and master storyteller. The Hudson, originally published in 1939, is the most popular of these writings. \u003cbr\u003e\nBest of the Rivers of America series, The Hudson is less a formal historical account of the discovery and development of the river that a personal, anecdotal view of it. Included are tales of white-sailed sloops and steamboats racing from Albany to New York; of old whalers and trader sea dogs of the Catskill shore; of showboats playing anti-rent meoldramas to incite farmers against their landlords; of great disasters and heroic deeds; of the efforts of the Hudson River School to capture \"sublimity\" on canvas; of the quarrelsome, rough-and-tumble life of the Dutch along the river's banks, and many more. \u003cbr\u003e\nThis commemorative fiftieth anniversary edition features 16 new drawings by Hudson River artist Edward J. McLaughlin, a foreward by New York historian Louis C. Jones, and an afterword by Roger Panetta, professor of history at the College of New Rochelle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Carl Carmer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53615659581820,"sku":"9780823212262","price":32.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0251\/4980\/0541\/files\/missing-cover_9130729a-7691-4d5e-9a8b-502db1fcadca.jpg?v=1746711570","url":"https:\/\/combined-academic.myshopify.com\/products\/the-hudson-1","provider":"Combined Academic Publishers - Mare Nostrum Group","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
