{"product_id":"the-hudson-carl-carmer-9780823212262","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. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBest 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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Carl Carmer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0823212262\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780823212262\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Fordham University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/01\/1989\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 338\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.82h x 6.77w x 1.00d","brand":"Carl Carmer","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44059887304959,"sku":"9780823212262","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_007d6323-3499-433e-837e-e96c6e519825.jpg?v=1685060874","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-hudson-carl-carmer-9780823212262","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
