Traveling along the Hudson and Mohawk Rivers, Andreani kept a meticulous record of his observations and experiences in the New World. Published complete for the first time in English, the diary is of major importance to those interested in life after the American Revolution, political affairs in the New Republic, and Native American peoples. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThrough Andreani's writings, we glimpse a world in cultural, economic, and political transition. An active participant in Enlightenment science, Andreani provides detailed observations of the landscape and natural history of his route. He also documents the manners and customs of the Iroquois, Shakers, and German, Dutch, and Anglo New Yorkers. Andreani was particularly interested in the Oneida and Onondaga Indians he visited, and his description of an Oneida lacrosse match accompanies the earliest known depiction of a lacrosse stick. Andreani's American letters, included here, relate his sometimes difficult but always revealing personal relationships with Washington, Jefferson, and Adams. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePrefaced by an illuminating historical and biographical introduction, \u003ci\u003eAlong the Hudson and Mohawk\u003c\/i\u003e is a fascinating look at the New Republic as seen through the eyes of an observant and curious explorer.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Cesare Marino\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0812239148\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780812239140\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Pennsylvania Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/09\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 128\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.60h x 5.70w x 0.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eUniv PR Books for Public Libry\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2007 pg. 1 - Recommended\/Special Interest","brand":"Cesare Marino","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44120292819199,"sku":"9780812239140","price":44.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f424c8f2-1fa1-4854-9262-c976309088dd.jpg?v=1687413551","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/along-the-hudson-and-mohawk-cesare-marino-9780812239140","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
