In Revolutionary times, the successful struggle for the Hudson was key to American victory over the power of the British military.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Hudson River railroad succeeded earlier modes of transportation in the Hudson Valley-the river sloop, the Albany Post Road, the steamboat, and the Erie Canal. The Hudson Line was both an early product of America's industrial age and a catalyst for the intense and complex developments of that age.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe advent of photography coincided with the inauguration of the Hudson River railroad, and American photographers were on-hand to witness and record the progress of commerce and community in the villages, towns, and cities along the Hudson River Line.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Henry John Steiner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1684420954\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781684420957\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Turner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/01\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 202\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.66lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 8.50w x 0.75d","brand":"Henry John Steiner","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44213248786687,"sku":"9781684420957","price":37.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7be3d36f-4e06-45f7-980f-f775634f4941.jpg?v=1692112843","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/historic-photos-of-the-hudson-henry-john-steiner-9781684420957","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
