Hudson Valley Tales & Trails: Legends, Landmarks, and Day Trips (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781590203439)

Hudson Valley Faces and Places takes an excursion into the incomparable Hudson, focusing on personalities who have left their mark on the region, from Ulysses S. Grant to Ed Wood.

Guiding the reader toward the best and sometimes strangest day trips in the area, a lifelong resident of the Hudson Valley reviews the region's state parks and historical sites and provides fascinating facts on its woodlands, museums, lighthouses, battlegrounds, and other attractions

Revealing ties to the valley shared by dozens of American inventors, leaders, industrialists, writers, performers, and miscreants, Clyne tells their fascinating stories and details the places imbued with their legacy.

She reveals little-known sites and surprising chapters in the lives of Thomas Edison, Harriet Tubman, James Garfield, James Fenimore Cooper, and dozens more--even Santa Claus!
