{"product_id":"hidden-history-of-the-lower-carney-rhinevault-9781540207135","title":"Hidden History of the Lower Hudson Valley: Stories from the Albany Post Road","description":"Today's travelers between New York City and Albany are more familiar with the Thruway than with the old Albany Post Road. But for centuries, this was the main highway between the Big Apple and the capital, and many exciting events occurred along its path in the Lower Hudson Valley. The Dutch Philipse family of Sleepy Hollow engaged in piracy, and tales of such misdeeds from the region inspired Washington Irving to write some of his most beloved stories. Later, prisoners used the road as an escape route from the original Sing Sing prison. During Prohibition, a beer hose\" ran through Yonkers, allegedly placed along the route by beer baron Dutch Schultz. With illustrations by Tatiana Rhinevault, local historian Carney Rhinevault uncovers the stories hidden behind the old mile markers of the Albany Post Road.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Carney Rhinevault\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1540207137\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781540207135\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e History Press Library Editions\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/15\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 194\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.95lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.50d","brand":"Carney Rhinevault","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43996319252735,"sku":"9781540207135","price":31.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7c082cf0-f971-4d16-9a98-2500eaf7784c.jpg?v=1683341003","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/hidden-history-of-the-lower-carney-rhinevault-9781540207135","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
