THE HUDSON RIVER. 
 
 We have passed the three hundredth anniversary 
 of Hendrick Hudson's discovery of the river that now 
 bears his name. It matters not whether he was the 
 first European navigator to visit that historic stream; 
 it may have been Roberval in 1542, or French fur- 
 traders in 1540, or Verrazano in 1524, or the Cabots 
 about 1497, or Zeno in 1380, or Madoc in 1170, or Thor- 
 vard and Helgi in 1011, or Thorfinn and Thorvard in 
 1007, or Thorwald in 1003, or Lief, the son of Eric, in 
 the year 1000, or perhaps some bold navigator or storm- 
 stressed voyager in even earlier years, unknown to 
 tradition and unhonored by history, for there is much 
 dim tradition and historians disagree; but, be that as 
 it may, the first actual explorer of the river of whom 
 we have any authentic account was Hendrick Hudson 
 who, in September, 1609, navigated the ''Haalve- 
 maan" (Half-moon) up its broad stream to a point a 
 little beyond latitude 42^ 18', and that event drew in 
 its wake the train of occurrences that settled and cre- 
 ated the colonies which have become the United States 
 of America. 
 
 The prow of that vessel has left a broadening wake 
 whose ripples have written an indelible history not 
 only along the Hudson's shores, but have left their 
 imprint on kingdoms over the sea. In that track 
 came the trader, and then the settler with his ax, carving 
 a home out of the wilderness and making a new Nether- 
 land. The fame of the "New Netherland" spread 
 abroad, and the little band of English Puritans which 
 had fled to Holland for refuge, fearing the loss of its 
 national identity in that country, in 1620 followed in 
 the wake of the "Half-moon," intending to settle on 
 Hudson's River; but at the end, driven by stress of 
 weather, they were obliged to abandon their purpose 
 and land near Cape Cod. And thus to the Hudson do 
 we owe the beginning of the colonies which stimulated 
 the settlement and founding of the New World. 
 
 We might picture the palmy days of the Dutch 
 colony along the "Mauritius River," as it was then 
 called in honor of Prince Maurice, broken at length 
 by the envious greed of England which wrested the 
 sovereignty from the Netherlands; then the long years 
 of gathering storm, brewed by British oppression and 
 mismanagement until its shadow rested over all the 
 colonies, and finally broke in the tempest of the 
 Revolution. 
 
 Up and down the valley of the Hudson the con- 
 tending armies surged like the ebbing and flowing of 
 
its tides, strewing the shores with relics of that period 
 like the flotsam and jetsam of its waters. We can 
 picture the gaudy scarlet-and-gold uniformed regi- 
 ments of the British, with flaunting banners, and 
 martial music beating time for the rhythmic move- 
 ments of the trained soldiers of the king; we can con- 
 trast the simple yeomen in whose breasts burned the 
 fire of patriotism and love of liberty and home, whose 
 uniforms were but the coarse garments of the husband- 
 man as he rushed from the plow to defend his fireside 
 from invasion and himself from virtual slavery. Here 
 is the arena in which was fought no small part of that 
 great conflict, where the soil is enriched with the blood 
 of patriots and the best of Britain's sons; and here in 
 unremembered graves lie the mouldering bones of 
 friend and foe alike. These hills have echoed with 
 the rattle of musketry, the boom of cannon, and the 
 awful din of battle, mixed with the agonized groans 
 of the victims of war and the music of victory; they 
 have also gleamed with the beacon-fires and the ruddy 
 glow of patriot homes burned by a wanton foe. 
 
 And now that a century and a quarter have passed 
 since those troublous days — days of travail during 
 which was born our infant republic — the progress of 
 our people has been boundless and is nowhere better 
 demonstrated than in this region. Over the course 
 of the httle "vlie-boat" of Hudson, Robert Fulton 
 navigated the '* Clermont," the first successful steam- 
 boat. Here the genius of Samuel F, B. Morse perfected 
 the electric telegraph. This valley was the highway 
 over which was opened and settled most of the great 
 West, and through which to-day is the principal gate- 
 way to that vast region. Up and down its majestic 
 stream ply the swiftest and most magnificent river 
 steamboats ever constructed. Among its hills and 
 dales dwell a vast population, prosperous and happy. 
 It was once the red man's elysium; it is to-day the 
 white man's paradise. 
 
 Let us follow in the wake of the "Half-moon" and 
 glance at the picturesque grandeur of this river while 
 we recall some of its histott-y and legend. The mag- 
 nificent steamers of the Day Line make the journey 
 in each direction daily on each week-day during the 
 summer season, and from their decks may be had the 
 best view that the tourist may have of the far-famed 
 stream and its places of interest. 
 
 On the evening of the 12th of September, 1609 
 Hudson brought his vessel to anchor in the broad bay 
 that is now the harbor of New York. We can imagine 
 that bold commander standing upon the high stern 
 of the ''Half-moon" in the gathering gloom of that 
 autumn day, with folded arms, and pensive gaze fixed 
 upon the fading landscape, dreaming of the riches of 
 the Orient toward which he fondly hoped he had now, 
 discovered a shorter route. But his fondest and most 
 extravagant fancies could have but faintly foreshad- 
 
 8 
 
owed :the wealth and^glories that were to follow him. 
 Had fate vouchsafed him but one glance behind the 
 veil that hid the future, and shown him that harbor 
 as it is to-day, he would have seen, not only a route 
 for the costly perfumes and spices of the East, but a 
 great harbor thronged with the commerce of the world, 
 surrounded by a vast population, in its midst the great 
 bronze statue of Liberty whose dimensions surpass 
 
 Statue of Liberty. 
 
 those] of the Colossus of Rhodes, which was one^of 
 the seven wonders of the ancient world. Over its 
 eastern approach he would have seen the vast bridges 
 that are greater wonders still, and upon the island that 
 was the home of the simple Manhattoes, a wilderness 
 of buildings that are the triumphs of modern archi- 
 tecture. 
 
 At the "coming of white men this whole region was 
 inhabited by numerous tribes of Lenapee Indians. 
 Their domains extended from the St. Lawrence on 
 the north to the Carolinas on the south, and from the 
 Atlantic ocean to the valley of the Mississippi — all 
 except a small territory around the great lakes and 
 the region which is now central New York. The 
 Mohicans were a tribe of this great nation and they 
 were the ruling people in the valley of the Hudson. 
 This great river was known far and wide as the Mahi- 
 cannituck, or ''great river of the Mohicans." To the 
 Mingo tribes of the lake region it was spoken of as 
 "Oiogue," or great river, and sometimes as ''Caho- 
 hatatia," or river that flows from the mountains. 
 Shatemuck and Skanektade are also said to have been 
 Indian names for it. 
 
 To the Lenapees the s>pot where New York now 
 stands was called "Menatan," meaning in their tongue, 
 island. From it, of course, comes the present name 
 Manhattan. 
 
Near the very spot from which the steamers of the 
 Day Line begin their trips a Revolutionary line of 
 breast-works extended from Desbrosses street along 
 Greenwich to Hubert, and along Hubert to the river 
 bank, and thence south to the Grenadier's Battery, 
 which stood about at Franklin street. Just back of 
 this stood the "Brew House," also fortified. Guarding 
 the water front below w^ere the Jersey battery, Mc- 
 Dougall's Battery, Oyster Batter}^, and intervening 
 earthworks, while on the site of the present Battery 
 Park stood Fort George, which was the principal 
 military works on the island. This fortification stood 
 on the spot formerly occupied by Fort Amsterdam, 
 which was the chief military post of the Dutch colo- 
 nists. In the time of Peter Stuyvesant this was a 
 scfuare earthworks lined with planks, with four bas- 
 tions, enclosing the barracks and the governor's house. 
 Nearby, on a slight elevation, stood the old company 
 windmill, whose sails acted as a sort of barometer for 
 the simple colonists, for they had an ordinance regu- 
 lating the trips of the ferry to such times as it might 
 be in operation, and if the wind was too strong for the 
 the mill to run the ferryman need not cross. Many 
 of the labors of the day were regulated by its movement. 
 
 As the steamer leaves her pier, to the west the rocky 
 eminence at Weehawken marks the spot where Hamil- 
 ton fell mortally wounded in a duel with Burr, and 
 stretching away to the north for twenty-three miles 
 the picturesque Palisades form a perpendicular wall 
 of rock varying in height from fifty to six hundred feet. 
 This great wall of volcanic rock, pushed up through 
 the earth's crust by some convulsion of nature, exposes 
 a serrated edge of fantastic forms, crowned with 
 verdure. Among their rocky crags was the site of 
 Fort Lee, from whose ramparts Washington witnessed 
 the bloody battle of the 15th and 16th of November, 
 1776, when the British captured Fort Washington and 
 its surrounding works. This was one of the fiercest 
 battles of the Revolution, Fort Washington com- 
 manded Washington Point and just above were Forts 
 Tryon and Cock Hill, protected in the rear by Fort 
 George. These were held by the American forces 
 under Colonel Magaw, with about 2,000 men . Sir 
 William Howe with a force of about 5,000 men began 
 an attack upon these on the 15th of November, which 
 culminated in a victory for the British soon after noon 
 of the following day. Word being sent to General 
 Washington at Hackensack, he hastened to Fort Lee 
 and there, with his general officers gathered around 
 him, on the heights across the river, he was an eye- 
 witness of the slaughter and final defeat of the patriot 
 forces. Fort Lee was immediately abandoned, but 
 before its stores could be removed a large part of them, 
 as well as the mounted cannon, were captured by Corn- 
 wallis, who had crossed the river with 6,000 men. This 
 retreat of Washington led to his famous recrossing 
 of the Delaware among the ice floes a month later. 
 
 11 
 
Across the river from Washington Point to the rocks 
 ^11 -^^^^ ^^® stretched -a chevaux-de-jrise, and on 
 the bluff over the railroad station at Spiiyten Duvvil 
 was another Continental fort called Independence. 
 
 On the eastern shore, where once the' modest homes 
 of the settlers lay hidden in the foliage of the primitive 
 forest, are now the modern palaces and castles of men 
 richer than even Croesus was fabled to be, strongly 
 contrasting with the crumbling ruins that lie half- 
 buried beside the rivers over the sea. Here, also con- 
 tending with wealth, history vies with legend and art 
 to lend interest to the locality. 
 
 Yonkers perpetuates the name of Adriaen Van der 
 Donck, who was the first lawyer in the Dutch colony 
 He came m 1642 in a ship of patroon Killian Van 
 Kensselaer, and settling here and living with some 
 pretense of style, his estate came to be called ''de 
 
 On the Day Line. The Phillipse Manor House, Yonkers. 
 
 jonkheer's landt," or the 3'oung gentleman's land, 
 which has been corrupted to the present name Yonkers 
 Here also, m the center of the city, stands the old 
 rhillipse mansion, once the home of Mary Phillipse 
 whom Washington is said to have sought in marriage' 
 and who was one ;of the few women who were attained 
 ot treason during our war for independence, whose 
 property was confiscated bv the government. 
 
 In front of the city, in 1777, occurred a naval engage- 
 ment between the American gunboats 'and the British 
 trigates Rose and Phoenix, in which the former were 
 deteated and compelled to seek safety in the mouth 
 of the Sawkill (now Nepperhan Creek). 
 
 We can recall Washington Irving's description of 
 the lappan Zee, "whose wide extended shores present 
 
 12 
 
a vast variety of delectable scenery — here the bold 
 promontory, crowned with embowering trees, ad- 
 vancing into the bay — there the long woodland slope, 
 sweeping up from the shore in rich luxuriance, and 
 terminating in the upland precipice — while at a dis- 
 tance a long, waving line of rocky heights threw their 
 gigantic shades across the water." 
 
 The genius of Irving has done much to endear to 
 us the valley of the Hudson. "I thank God I was 
 born on its banks," he wrote, "and I fancy I can trace 
 much of what is good and pleasant in my own hetero- 
 geneous compound to my early companionship with 
 this glorious river. I admired its frank, bold, honest 
 character; its noble sincerity and perfect truth. Here 
 was no specious, smiling surface, covering the danger- 
 ous sandbar or perfidious rock; but a stream deep as 
 it was broad, and bearing with honorable faith the 
 bark that trusted to its waves." 
 
 Tarrytown is built upon the site of a former Indian 
 village called Alipconck, which was said to mean 
 place of elms, but which more likely means place of 
 the hollow or valley. The present name seems to come 
 from the Dutch and means ''wheat-town," as tarwe is 
 Dutch for wheat. 
 
 Here, where the Pocantico murmurs its way between 
 wooded hills to join the Hudson, is the spot of which 
 Irving wrote: "If ever I should wish for a retreat, 
 whither I might steal from the world and its distrac- 
 tions, and dream aw^ay the remnant of a troubled life, 
 I know of none more promising than this little valley. 
 A small brook glides through it, with just murmur 
 enough to lull one to repose; and the occasional whistle 
 of a quail, or tapping of a woodpecker, is almost the 
 only sound that ever breaks in upon the uniform tran- 
 quility. A drowsy, dreamy influence seems to hang 
 over the land and to pervade the very atmosphere." 
 In this very spot lies all that is mortal of him who 
 penned the above. His resting place is in the old 
 burying-ground he made famous by his Legend of 
 Sleepy Hollow. The old Dutch church, built in 1699, 
 or probably a few years before, is still standing near 
 the location of the bridge across which we have a 
 picture of Ichabod fleeing from the headless horseman. 
 The former residence of the genial author lies at the 
 other end of the village and was well named by him 
 "Sunnyside." During the revolutionary period it was 
 owned and occupied by Jacob Van Tassel and was 
 called Wolfert's Roost. Van Tassel and his associates 
 who were the acknowledged defenders of the neighbor- 
 hood against the depredations of the Cowboy and 
 Skinner marauders, used the place as headquarters 
 and as a garrison, and also maintained from it a part 
 of the water guard of the river. The classic walls of 
 the old house still stand embowered among stately 
 trees, hallowed by the voice of traditionary history 
 and consecrated by the presence of true genius. 
 
 13 
 
Nearby is a spot where a monument marks the placs 
 of capture of the unfortunate Andre, and just across 
 the river is still standing an old stone tavern which 
 was used as his prison-house until his execution upon 
 a hill in its rear. Here also is the old dT.elling used 
 as a headquarters by Washington and his officers 
 during the court-martial. 
 
 Leaving astern the Tappan Zee the steamer veers 
 slightly to the west and passing close to Hook ]\lountain 
 {Verdrietig Hoek), or Tedious Mountain, eiiters the 
 narrow strait off Teller's Point where, on the night of 
 September 21, 1780, the British sloop-of-war "Vulture" 
 lay awaiting the return of Major Andre from his con- 
 ference with the traitor Arnold. Early in the morning 
 the sentry at the fort on Verplanck's Point discovered 
 the vessel at anchor off Teller's Point. Colonel Liv- 
 ingston immediately sent a small detachment with a 
 four-pounder to harass it from that point, and so well 
 did they accomplish their commission that the sloop 
 was obliged to fall down stream, badly damaged. 
 
 This incident led to the capture of Andre, though 
 Livingston had no idea that he was accomplishing 
 anything beyond harassing a vessel of the enemy. 
 Andre was compelled to attempt a return to the 
 British lines by land, and the result is well known. 
 
 To the west of Haverstraw Bay and a little north 
 of the village of Haverstraw, standing upon a hill com- 
 manding a full view of the bay and the anchorage of 
 the "Vulture," still stands the Joshua Hett Smith 
 house. "Treason Hill" is well named, for here the 
 conference between Arnold and Andre was brought 
 to a close, the price of treason fixed and every detail 
 settled for the betrayal of the cause of Liberty. In the 
 upper front room these two passed the day haggling 
 over the price of treason. All that long September 
 day nearly the whole theatre of the tragedy of which 
 they were the principal actors, lay spread out before 
 them from the windows of the room they occupied. 
 They could see Livingston's httle band open fire upon 
 the "Vulture" and compel her to flee. The hills to 
 the north shut in the fortifications about West Point, 
 for the treacherous betrayal of which they were nego- 
 tiating. In front, over across the broad expanse of 
 the bay down which Arnold was to hasten in flight 
 within forty-eight hours, lay the road over which Andre 
 was to travel to captivity and doom on the morrow. 
 A little to the south the hills revealed the spot where 
 capture awaited him but the beethng cliffs of Hook 
 Mountain shut out the location of the closing scenes. 
 On September 14, 1609, the little vlie-boat bearing 
 the dauntlessexplorer, Hendrick Hudson, and his crew, 
 "the morning being faire, the wind South-east, sayled 
 vp the Riuer twelue leagues and came to a Straight 
 betweene two Points, and it trended North-east by 
 North, one league." 
 
 The^quotation is from the log-book of the "Half- 
 
 15 
 
1 -{s^^'^-m^ ' ^ -^-i 
 
moon" and is the earliest historical reference to Ver- 
 planck's Point. The next reference we find is from 
 the same source and is a graphic picture of the first 
 tragedy marking the beginning of the extermination 
 of the red man by his white brother in the valley that 
 by tradition was his elysium. "The first of October, 
 faire weather, the wind variable betweene the West 
 and the North. In the Morning we weighed at seuen 
 of the clocke with the ebbe, and got down below the 
 Mountaynes, which was seuen leagues. Then it fell 
 calme and the people of the Mountaynes came aboord 
 vs, wondering at our ship and weapons. We bought 
 some small skinnes of them for Trifles. This after- 
 noone, one Canoe kept hanging vnder our sterne with 
 one man in it, which we could not keepe from thence, 
 who got vp by our Rudder to the Cabin window, and 
 stole out my Pillow, and two Shirts, and two Bande- 
 leeres. Our Masters Mate shot at him, and strooke 
 him on the brest, and killed him. Whereupon all the 
 rest fled away, some in their Canoes, and so leapt out 
 of them into the water. We manned our boat, and got 
 our things againe. Then one of them that swamme 
 got hold of our Boat, thinking to ouerthrow it. But 
 our Cooke tooke a Sword, and cut off one of his hands, 
 and he was drowned. By this time the ebbe was come, 
 and we weighed and got downe two leagues, by the 
 time it was darke. So we anchored in foure fathomes 
 water, and rode well." 
 
 The above happened on the return of the "Half- 
 moon" down the river, and this was the first Indian 
 blood shed by white men in the valley of the Hudson. 
 
 At this time the territorj^ on the east side of the river

extending from Croton to Anthony's Nose was occupied 
 by the Kitchawongs, a tribe of Algonquin or Lenapee 
 Indians, and what is now Verplanck's Point was called 
 by them ''Menaghen," meaning literally "small island." 
 though it really is not separated from the mainland. 
 
 In 1683 the natives sold this as part of a larger tract 
 to Stephanus Van Cortlandt, and from him it descended 
 to his son Johannes, whose only child, a daughter, 
 married Philip Verplanck, from whom it takes its 
 present name. 
 
 During the colonial period the point was traversed 
 by the King's Highway, a very important route be- 
 tween the northern and middle colonies. Here, too, 
 was the King's Ferry, operated by rowboats and a 
 ferry-sloop. 
 
 \\Tien the Revolutionary War broke out this was 
 a strategic position of great importance to both armies, 
 for it commanded the southernmost defile of the Hud- 
 son, up which access must be had to nearly the whole 
 of the colony of New York, and the territory tributary 
 to it. As early as October, 1775, both the Continental 
 Congress and the Provincial Congress of New York, 
 discussed plans for, and appointed a commission to 
 attend to, fortifying this spot. 
 
 The first defenses on the point, erected early in the 
 year 1777, were slight breastworks defended by two 
 twelve-pounder cannon. On Sunday, October 5th of 
 that year, the British landed here preparatory to their 
 attack on forts Montgomery and Clinton. At the 
 approach of so large a body of the enemy the little 
 garrison assigned to defend that point discharged 
 their pieces and fled to Peekskill, saving in their flight 
 one of their cannon. 
 
 After the British had destro3^ed the highland fortifi- 
 cations and obstructions upon which the Americans 
 had expended vast sums of money, and had sent a 
 detachment further up the river which had burned 
 Esopus, they returned to New York, abandoning all 
 the advantage they had gained. At that very time 
 Burgoyne was suffering defeat at Bemis Heights while 
 awaiting their help from below. 
 
 The works on Verplanck's were subsequently 
 strengthened by the Americans and Stony Point, 
 across the river, was also fortified. Again a strong 
 body of the British attacked these forts on June 1, 
 1779, but the works on Stony Point, being incomplete, 
 were abandoned by the Americans and a blockhouse 
 upon its summit burned to prevent its use by the 
 enemy. At that time the works on Verplanck's, 
 which were called Fort LaFayette, w^ere small but 
 complete. They were enclosed with palisades, had a 
 double ditch, chevaux-de-frise, abbatis and a block- 
 house in the center which was bombproof. It was 
 garrisoned by only seventy men who made a most 
 gallant resistance, opposed by an enemy who invested 
 them in great numbers on all sides by land, and bom- 
 
 18 
 
barded them from galleys in the river and from bat- 
 teries on Stony Point. ,« This latter position being at a 
 greater elevation the fire was directed into their very 
 fort. Unable to cope with these great odds, and re- 
 treat being cut off across the neck of land by a con- 
 siderable body of men under General Vaughn, they 
 were obliged to surrender, under a promise of good 
 usage. 
 
 The subsequent recapture of Stony Point by "Mad" 
 Anthony Wayne on the night of the 15th of the follow- 
 ing month forms one of the brightest pages of our 
 history; but the tardiness of Major-General Robert 
 Howe, who was sent to co-operate with him in the 
 capture of Verplanck's Point, prevented a surprise of 
 that garrison, and defeated the plans of Washington, 
 compelling Wayne to abandon his captured position 
 after he had destroyed as much of it as he could. The 
 British soon abandoned both these posts after adding 
 greatly to their strength, when they again passed into 
 the hands of the Americans. 
 
 For more than fifty years historians have agreed in 
 stating that nothing remained of the Revolutionary 
 works upon Verplanck's Point except traces of the 
 earthworks on the brow of the hill; and in fact the 
 oldest residents of the vicinity and local students of 
 history have expressed the same opinion. 
 - But down on the end of the Point, close beside the 
 road that still follows the old King's Highway, and 
 very near to the landing-place of the King's Ferry, 
 is still standing part of an old ruined wall. It is mas- 
 sive and thick and pierced with long perpendicular 
 portholes that are narrow on the outside and wide 
 inside. 
 
 Careful inquiry among the oldest residents of the 
 vicinity fails to elicit any information except that the 
 old wall has been there longer than recollection can 
 trace it. Its position and construction lead to the 
 belief that it was erected as a shore-battery to com- 
 mand the water-front and the highway and ferry to 
 prevent a landing of troops, while the stronger works 
 upon the higher ground in the rear served as a pro- 
 tection to it. 
 
 In 1836 this point was plotted to sell in building-lots, 
 and elaborate plans were projected for a thriving 
 town. On maps of that plot the position of these 
 ruins is marked "The Battery," showing that the 
 projectors knew of a battery being located there. 
 
 And now, as the steamer enters the highland region, 
 what need is there of relating incidents of history or 
 of indicating places of interest when the whole region 
 is picturesque and grand beyond description,"- and of 
 itself so imposing as to hold the attention of even 
 those who are the most wanting in admiration for the 
 grand and beautiful in nature? But when added to 
 this natural attractiveness of scenery we have a locality 
 crowded with historic association of that period of our 
 
 21 
 
country when patriotism burned as a flame that con- 
 sumed, and loyalty to the cause of freedom called forth 
 deeds of heroism and personal sacrifice such as the 
 world has rarely known, where everv spot recalls the 
 memory of such patriots as Washington, Putnam, 
 LaFavette, Schuyler, Greene, Kosciuszko, Steuben, 
 and the many others who with them made our country 
 a land of freedom; expression is dumb and description 
 feeble. 
 
 This region has always inspired mankind with emo- 
 tions of awe, for many are the tales of supernatural 
 deeds that are said to have been done within its limits: 
 and to the early Dutch navigators it was a region of 
 dread which was under the domain of mischievous 
 beings who took a peculiar delight in venting their 
 spleen and indulging their humors upon and bothering 
 them with flaws and head-winds, counter-currents and 
 all kinds of impediments. Some believed these mis- 
 chievous powers to be evil spirits conjured up by the 
 Indian wizards to revenge themselves on the strangers 
 who had dispossessed them. 
 
 The Indians believed these mountains were raised 
 bv the mighty spirit Manetho, to protect his favorite 
 abodes from the unhallowed eyes of mortals, and that 
 before the Hudson poured its waters through them 
 they formed a vast prison within whose rocky bosom he 
 confined the rebellious spirits who repined at his con- 
 trol; that here, jammed in rifted pines or crushed bv 
 ponderous rocks, they groaned for ages, until at length 
 the conquering Hudson burst open their prison-house, 
 rolling a might}'- tide triumphantly through the stu- 
 pendous ruins. 
 
 '""What is usuallv called the "Southern Gateway to 
 the Highlands" is formed bv Dunderberg (Thunder 
 Mountain") on the west and Manito Mountain on the 
 east, which rise in rocky heights over a thousand feet 
 above the river. 
 
 The Creator made no mistakes in His architecture 
 when He formed this region; the stupendous grandeur 
 is nowhere slighted, and the profound magnitude of His 
 works, although inspiring awe. are sublimelv beautiful. 
 These sreat mountains and hills are set with a rugged 
 grace that cannot but influence the beholder to feel that 
 Nature outdoes Art and that the latter makes but an 
 imperfect attempt at reproducing her perfections. 
 
 Although man cannot suggest the change of a single 
 setting of the Creator's handiwork in this region that 
 would add to the effect, vet its natural position hasbeen 
 such that manv events have transpired within its limits 
 which embellish its scenes with their memory; and thus 
 thoush unable to add to its scenic efl"ect, he has added 
 a halo of glory to it that will shine brightly until the 
 world forgets to love freedom and to revere the spots 
 where patriots bought it with heroism and with blood. 
 
 The ruins of Revolutionary fortifications are scat- 
 tered in great profusion through the Highlands, but 
 
 24 
 
d 
 
 fe' 
 
as their construction was for the most part of earth, 
 their remains are only to be distinguished by a close 
 examination of the places where they stood, but much 
 still remains to reward the visitor for his time if he 
 cares to search them out. 
 
 Fort Independence stood at the base of Manito Moun- 
 tain, commanding the narrow entrance to the High- 
 lands. A little further on, where Peploap's Kill brings 
 down to the Hudson the waters from Bear Mountain, 
 stood Fort Clinton and Fort Montgomery, on either 
 side of the ravine formed by its mouth. From here 
 across to Anthony's Nose were stretched a heavy 
 wooden boom linked together with iron links and 
 buoyed by wooden rafts, and a heavy iron chain also 
 secured in the same manner. Besides these the channel 
 was obstructed by a chevaux-de-frise. On October 6, 
 1777, these forts were taken by the British, and here 
 on that night the Americans burned two frigates, two 
 galleys and an armed sloop to prevent their capture 
 by the enemy. Says Stedman, "The flames suddenly 
 broke forth, and, as every sail was set, the vessels soon 
 became magnificent pyramids of fire. The reflection on 
 the steep face of the opposite mountain, and the long 
 train of ruddy light which shone upon the water for a 
 prodigious distance, had a wonderful effect; while 
 the ear was awfully filled with the continued echoes 
 from the rocky shores as the flames gradually reached 
 the loaded cannons. The whole was sublimely termi- 
 nated by the explosions, which left all again in dark- 
 ness." On the following morning the enemy destroyed 
 the obstructions in the river which had cost the Amer- 
 icans a quarter of a million dollars. Fort Constitution 
 upon the island opposite West Point was abandoned, 
 and Vaughan and Wallace sailed up the river on a 
 marauding expedition during which they burned 
 Esopus. Here, also, near Fort Montgomery, "Captain 
 Molly " Pitcher, the heroine of the battle of Monmouth, 
 lived and died. 
 
 Time, decay, and the march of improvement are 
 ruthlessly destroying relic after relic in this region, 
 and one of the last to pass from our observation is the 
 Beverly Robinson House, which was situated at the 
 foot of Sugar Loaf Mountain, about three-fourths of a 
 mile from Beverly Dock, near Garrisons. 
 
 The wife of Colonel Robinson was a daughter of 
 Frederick Phillipse and, as the Colonel and General 
 Washington were close personal friends before the war, 
 it was at this house where Washington met and fell in 
 love with Mary Phillipse. This was also Arnold's 
 headquarters after he secured the command of West 
 Point with the purpose of betraying it to the British, 
 and it was here that he matured his nefarious plans and 
 abandoned his wife on receiving news of the capture of 
 Andre. The house was also used as a hospital for the 
 American army, as it was large and roomy, and its 
 farm and gardens very extensive and productive. 
 
 27 
 
And now, the bold promontory to the west, rising 
 more than a hundred and fifty feet above the waters of 
 the river, crowned with noble buildings, brings to mind 
 other reminiscences. 
 
 West Point! Cradle of War; nursery of heroes; 
 school of an army that has never known defeat; what 
 names does it recall of illustrious men now slumbering 
 in the dreamless sleep of the dead! Let memory also 
 recall the nameless heroes, who for their love of country 
 and the righteous cause of freedom, withstood priva- 
 tions and labored undaunted by suffering, to here erect 
 a barrier against the foes of liberty: — 
 
 '• Nor j^ou, ye proud, impute to these the fault, 
 If Mem'ry o'er their tomb no trophies raise,'' 
 
 for they were but the individuals comprising the rank 
 and file of the army, and it was their courage and their 
 brawn and muscle, though guided by illustrious leaders, 
 that raised the banner of Freedom over our land. 
 While they were constructing these works, in January, 
 1778, General Putnam, then in charge, wrote to Wash- 
 ington: — -"Dubois's regiment is unfit to be ordered on 
 dwty, there being not one blanket in the regiment. 
 Very few have either a shoe or a shirt, and most of them 
 have neither stockings, breeches, or overalls. Several 
 companies of inlisted artificers are in the same situa- 
 tion, and unable to work in the field." 
 
 The first fort built here was commenced in August, 
 1775, by direction of the Provincial Assembly at New 
 York. It was called Fort Constitution and was erected 
 on the rocky island across from West Point now called 
 Constitution Island. In April, 1778, Fort Clinton was 
 completed on West Point and soon after Fort Putnam, 
 upon Mt. Independence, was built to command the 
 lower forts, and very soon thereafter forts Webb and 
 Wyllys were thrown up as outer works to protect Fort 
 Putnam. 
 
 A chain and obstructions were also placed across the 
 river at this point, just as those lower down at Fort 
 Montgomery were placed, to obstruct navigation. 
 
 All of the fortifications are in ruins now, except 
 Fort Clinton; and the gray ruins of old Putnam stand- 
 ing out in strong relief against the green background 
 of mountain are a silent reproach for the neglect that 
 has allowed it to decay. 
 
 All these, and more, speak w^ith siren tongue to lure 
 the traveler and historian; but it is not by these asso- 
 ciations alone that the stranger is moved with strong 
 emotions when approaching West Point; for, indeed, 
 one all unmindful of the past or utterly indifferent to 
 our history cannot but feel a glow of admiration as he 
 courses along the sinuous channel of this portion of the 
 river, or climbs the rough hills that embosom it. To 
 the uninitiated Constitution Island seems to block the 
 river completely and leave no passage beyond, but as 
 the boat nears the apparent obstruction and seems 
 
 28 
 
about to run upon it, a circuitous passage is seen to 
 open to the west around the island, and the vista 
 opened to the eye is rarely beautiful. Stretching away 
 to the north the blue water seems to lose itself among 
 the hills that lie beyond; indistinct in the distance, 
 through the opening in the mountains is seen the city 
 of Newburgh, while on one hand Taurus and Break- 
 neck stand guard, and on the other Storm King and 
 Cro'nest. 
 
 This locality has had a wonderful attraction for lit- 
 erary men; Poe neglected his duties as a cadet at West 
 Point to wander among these mountains and drink in 
 inspiration for the literary productions that afterward 
 made him famous; Geo. P. Morris had his summer 
 home under the shadow of Taurus, and nowhere in this 
 broad land was there a more appropriate spot for the 
 home of an American song-writer, 
 
 " Where Hudson's waves o'er silvery sands 
 Wind through the hills afar, 
 And Cro' Nest like a monarch stands 
 Crov^^n'd with a single star.'' [morris.] 
 
 Here was the inspiration for Joseph Rodman Drake 
 when, on a temporary visit to Cold Spring, he wrote 
 under its spell " The Culprit Fay,^' and before summon- 
 ing ''Ouphe and goblin, imp and sprite," he thus de- 
 scribes the scene: — 
 
 " The moon looks down on old Cro' Nest ; 
 She mellows the shades on his shaggy breast, 
 And seems his huge graj' form to throw 
 In a silver cone on the wave below. 
 His sides are broken by spots of shade, 
 By the walnut bough and the cedar made; 
 And through their clustering branches dark 
 Glimmers and dies the firefly's spark,— 
 Like starry twinkles that momently break 
 Through the rifts of the gathering tempest's rack." 
 
 ( Where may we find more classic surroundings than 
 these, where N. P. Willis, James K. Paulding, Gulian 
 C. Verplanck, E. P. Roe, Miss Warner, Henry Ward 
 Beecher, Harriet Beecher Stowe, and many others 
 have toiled among their books? 
 
 As the shores of Newburgh Bay begin to spread on 
 either hand, and we look back over the steamer's wake 
 at the rocky piles we are leaving, we perceive that, like 
 their gateway at the south, the Highlands also have a 
 gateway at the north, whose posts are Breakneck on 
 the east, and Storm King on the west; each in altitude 
 more than 1,500 feet. 
 
 Here again new scenes remind us of their accom- 
 paniment of incident, for it is ever thus with the Hud- 
 son; though we may contemplate its deepest grandeur 
 or brightest aspect, we always find it surrounded with 
 interest or hallowed by memories of events that cluster 
 around it. Plum Point, New Windsor, the Beacon 
 Hills, Fishkill and Newburgh, — how they crowd the 
 memory with tales of the past until we fancy we can 
 again see the beacon fires flash up from peak to peak

and a ruddy glow mantle the most distant hilltop, 
 while the boom of the alarm gun as it echoes from 
 mountain to mountain and shore to shore seems to 
 die away in a distant murmur up the valley. ;^^ 
 
 Here at Newburgh was Washington's headquarters^ 
 while the Continental army was quartered in the valley, 
 and it is now maintained by the State as a Museum of 
 Revolutionary Relics, and as nearly as possible as it 
 appeared in the era of the Revolution. 
 
 The Verplanck mansion, which stands embowered in 
 a grove of locust trees on the bluff just north of Fish- 
 kill, was owned by Samuel Verplanck, Esq., during the 
 Revolution, and was for a time the headquarters of 
 Baron Steuben when the American army was en- 
 camped in the vicinity of Newburgh. Here was also 
 organized the Society of the Cincinnati, an organization 
 named in veneration of the illustrious Roman, Lucius 
 Quintius Cincinnatus, whose members were the gen- 
 erals and other officers of the American army; they 
 being resolved to follow his example by returning to 
 civil life when the war was closed. 
 
 The surrounding mountains were the haunts of 
 Enoch Crosby, an American spy of the Revolution, 
 whose exploits have been so interestingly told by 
 Cooper in his tale. The Spy, and the old Wharton 
 house, around which the thread of the tale was woven, 
 is still standing at Old Fishkill. 
 
 Livingston Manor-Housb at Poughkeepsie. 
 33 
 
On the southern outskirts of Poughkeepsiej^on the 
 river bank,, surrounded by a grove of locust trees, 
 stands the manor house of Henry Livingston, which 
 was built in 1714. 
 
 -•When the British squadron ascended the river after 
 the capture of Forts Clinton and Montgomery, this 
 house presented too fair a target to escape damage, as 
 the scars which still remain upon it from the cannon 
 of Vaughan and Wallace will show. This place has 
 recently been much changed, owing to the demand of 
 its owners that it be made useful, and around it now 
 stand smoking furnaces and heaps of scrap-iron, while 
 the only portion of the house that remains is used as 
 the business office of its owners; however, that portion 
 remains still in its original condition, and the scars left 
 by the cannon balls still show. 
 
 And now the river begins to put on a new aspect and 
 the more rugged mountain scenery to give way to hills 
 that are covered by fruitful orchards and vineyards 
 that yearly pour their bounty into the lap of man, 
 while away in the distance the blue peaks of the Cats- 
 kills beckon us to their region of enchantment. Where 
 further down, the river tourist feels that thrill of emo- 
 tion that always animates the breast of man when in 
 the presence of the Creator's grandest works, here, 
 where the noble stream pursues more quiet ways, he 
 begins to feel the influence of restful drowsiness that 
 seems always to have thrown its spell over the region 
 of the Catskills. 
 
 In the early days of the settlements along the river, 
 while the savage still roamed the hills in search of game 
 to supply fur to the traders, the colonists seem to have 
 gathered in only three localities — around Fort Orange, 
 New Amsterdam and Esopus, 
 
 At the latter place in 1614 a little ronduit, or fort, 
 was built as a trading post at the mouth of the creek, 
 or kill, and in time this creek became known as the 
 Ronduit Kill, finally becoming corrupted to Rondout. 
 A little settlement grew up around the fort, and later 
 another sprang up on the higher lands which was called 
 Wiltwyck. The Esopus Indians occupied the adjoining 
 country, and becoming jealous of the encroachments 
 of the whites, they fell upon the settlement in 1663 
 while the men were at work in the fields, and killed or 
 carried into captivity sixty-five persons. Toward the 
 end of the century the settlement received a valuable 
 accession by the arrival of a company of Huguenots 
 who had fled from persecution in France to America. 
 From this settlement has grown the city of Kingston. 
 
 After the adoption of the Declaration of Independ- 
 ence in 1776 the "Convention of Representatives of the 
 State of New York" met to formulate and adopt a 
 State Constitution. Owing to the unsettled condition 
 of the country and the exigencies of war this assembly, 
 after meeting successively in New York, Harlaem, 
 White Plains, Poughkeepsie and Fishkill, finally settled 
 
 34 
 
at Kingston, and there finished their labors and adopted 
 
 the first Constitution of the State of New York on the 
 20th of April, 1777. 
 
 This place suffered much from , the Indians and 
 Tories during the Revolution, and when it became so 
 presumptuous as to harbor rebel legislators, it was 
 marked for severe chastisement by the enemy. 
 Accordingly when Sir James Wallace and General 
 Vaughan sailed up the river with a fleet and 3,600 
 men, in the autumn of the same year, they burned 
 and pillaged the city until hardly a house was left 
 standing; but a protecting hand seems to have been 
 over the old Senate House, for it remained unharmed 
 among the ruins, and still stands, the pride of the city. 
 
 In the year 1839 President Van Buren sent that 
 noted explorer, John L. Stephens, on a diplomatic 
 errand to Central America. His diplomatic appoint- 
 ment was for a specific purpose, not requiring his resi- 
 dence at the capital, and the object of his mission 
 being fulfilled or failing, he was at liberty to travel. 
 As a result of that expedition he gave to the world two 
 volumes of absorbing interest to the student, describing 
 in much detail many of the remains of cities, temples 
 and idols which he visited, which proved beyond a 
 doubt that a portion of our continent was inhabited 
 by a highly civilized race long before it was discovered 
 by Europeans. Upon his return he brought with him 
 some specimens of the stone carvings of the region. 
 Upon Cruger's island, a little south of Tivoli, he recon- 
 structed one of their arched temples and placed therein 
 the stone carvings. This ruins stands hidden among 
 the trees at the south end of the island, plainly visible 
 from the steamers that ply the river. 
 
 Here, too, in the little bay back of the island, Chan- 
 cellor Livingston conducted the early experiments 
 that culminated ten years later in the building of the 
 "Clermont," the firstpractical steamboat. This vessel 
 was built at Brown's shipyard, in New York. She 
 was 100 feet long and was propelled by a steam engine 
 constructed by Watt and Bolton, in England, and 
 made the trip from New York to Albany in thirty-six 
 hours, the fare being seven dollars, exclusive of meals. 
 
 The present year, 1909, marks the celebration of that 
 event, and what a contrast there is in the steamboats 
 of to-day! 
 
 Historians have given Livingston little credit for 
 the part he took in that achievement, but his years of 
 study and experiment and the liberal use of his gen- 
 erous fortune made it possible for Fulton to perfect the 
 steamboat. To give Robert Fulton full credit for the 
 ''Clermont" we need not take from the name of Liv- 
 ingston the praise that is due, nor need we forget what 
 Fitch and Rumsey accomplished. 
 
 ^ The long line of blue mountains which here skirt the 
 river to the west have always exerted a mysterious 
 charm beyond their attractiveness to the eye, for they 
 are the very domain of the fanciful and supernatural. 
 
 36 
 
From the long, long ago, out of the dim past from 
 whence come only the echoes of the far-away voices 
 of a vanished people, the legend of Minne-wa-wa, the 
 old squaw of the mountains, is borne to us in broken 
 but harmonious fragments, which, when collected and 
 properly joined, form a tale of indescribable beauty 
 and pathos. 
 
 The Mohicans were the direct descendants of the 
 Great Spirit; the nation of noble blood, in the veins of 
 whose chiefs coursed the uncontaminated blood of the 
 great father of the red men. 
 
 ,^4 Ages before the white men came among them their 
 ancestors had lived in a far-off country to the west, 
 beyond the mighty rivers and mountains, at a place 
 where the waters constantly moved to and fro. In the 
 belief that there existed away toward the rising sun a 
 red man's paradise — a land of deer and salmon and 
 beaver — they had traveled on toward the east and 
 south to find it; but they were scourged and divided 
 by famine so that it was not until after long and weary 
 journeyings, during which many, many moons had 
 passed, that they came at length to the broad and 
 beautiful valley of the Hudson, whose bosom forever 
 ebbed and flowed like the waters from whose shores 
 they had come; and here amidst a profusion of game 
 and fish, they rested and found that Indian Elysium 
 of which they had dreamed before they left their own 
 homes in the land of the setting sun. 
 :1.'J Among them came Minne-wa-wa, the pleasant voice; 
 the mother of their chief who was called the Evening 
 Star and who had for his wife Wa-bun An-nung, the 
 morning star; their son was named Osseo, or son of the 
 evening star. 
 
 ^- Soon after they settled in these pleasant hunting 
 grounds, Osseo and his father, while chasing the red- 
 deer among the blue mountains that lie to the west of 
 the sparkling river, were overtaken by Mishe-mokwa, 
 the great naked bear, and destroyed. 
 
 Wa-bun An-nung in her great sorrow wandered away 
 from the village to the east, and was taken by the 
 Puk-wud-jin-inies, the little vanishing men of the 
 woods who are seen as night approaches, and sus- 
 pended in the eastern sky, where she became the 
 morning star. 
 
 Minne-wa-wa, bereft of all kindred, betook herself to 
 the western mountains to grieve in solitude near the 
 spot from whence her loved ones had vanished. As 
 time, that great healer of human woes, somewhat 
 assuaged her grief, her heart beat only for the subjects 
 of her lost son, and her greatest desire was for the 
 welfare of her people; and fearing lest some others of 
 the tribe might be overtaken in the darkness by Mishe- 
 mokwa, she gave to the little swamp-flies, Wah-wah- 
 tay-see, the wee lamps which at night they flash here 
 and there among the bushes, that they might reveal 
 the monster should he be lurking near to devour. But 
 
 37 
 
perceiving that the Wah-wah-tay-see would be of 
 service only in the damp hollows which they frequented, 
 and under the shadows of the dense trees and thick 
 bushes, she climbed the mountain, and from the highest 
 peak hung in the western sky the crescent bow of the 
 lost Evening Star, to which she gave light and which 
 became the moon. The Great Spirit, seeing that this 
 was good for her people and that she of all others held 
 their welfare in highest esteem, changed her into an 
 immortal spirit and gav^e her the vast mountain for a 
 lodge, in which was the great treasury of storm and 
 sunshine for the region of the Hudson, and gave her 
 also the dispensing of it for all time. Here she kept 
 Day and Night shut up, letting out only one of them 
 at a time. Monthly she came from her dwelling and 
 hung the crescent new moon in the western sky, over 
 the mountains, and so placed it as to signal to her 
 people before she was about to send out the cooling 
 showers to water the maize-fields and freshen the 
 springs and parched herbage; for, if she so hung it 
 that the lower horn of the crescent was elevated suffi- 
 ciently to hang upon it the bow and quiver of the 
 hunter, then was the hunting at an end for a season and 
 her people were to keep to their lodges and wigwams. 
 
 After hanging forth the signal that all might see it 
 she would stand on the mountain top and shake from 
 the folds of her mantle the drifting rain-clouds, and 
 blow them over the vallc}^ with her breath. Sometimes 
 she would weave them out of cobwebs, gossamers and 
 morning dew, and send them off, flake after flake, to 
 float in the air and give light summer showers. When 
 the people had done that which displeased her she 
 would brew up black thunder storms, and send down 
 drenching rains to swell the streams and sweep every 
 thing away, and with them the thunder of her voice 
 and the lightning flashes from her eyes. 
 
 ^''Thus did Minne-wa-wa become the guardian of the 
 Mohican people, ever ministering to their good, sending 
 the rain to moisten the maize-fields, and water the hills 
 that the herbage might grow and keep the game in 
 abundance for them. Monthly she hung up the new 
 moon, and as often cut up the old and scattered the 
 little pieces throughout the heavens, and made of them 
 the little stars whose lamps she lighted nightly. 
 
 Somewhere among these blue peaks — the little Dutch 
 children were taught to believe — ^was the enchanted 
 dwelling of the good St. Nicholas. How many childish 
 hearts have been gladdened by that poem of Clement 
 C. Moore, as, gathered about the hearth-stone on 
 
 "the night before Christmas, when all through 
 
 t,^ the house 
 Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse," 
 
 they have listened with wondering eyes and expectant 
 faces to his pretty tale about good St. Nicholas, with 
 his reindeer and his sleigh full of toys!

 Distant Catskills from Hudson. 
 
 This poem, dear to the hearts of all children, and to 
 all who have been children, was written in the old Webb 
 mansion at Claverack, just back of Hudson, and in full 
 view of these glorious mountains. 
 
 It was in this neighborhood that Hudson found the 
 "very loving people, and very old men," and it was 
 over these scenes that Bayard Taylor looked from the 
 mountains when he wrote: ''It was a quarter of an 
 hour before sunset, perhaps the best moment of the 
 day for the Catskill panorama. The shadows of the 
 mountain-tops reached nearly to the Hudson, while the 
 sun, shining directly down the clove, interposed a thin 
 wedge of golden luster between. The farm houses on a 
 thousand hills beyond the river sparkled in the glow, 
 and the Berkshire Mountains swam in a luminous, 
 rosy mist. The shadows strode eastward at the rate 
 of a league a minute as we gazed; the forests darkened, 
 the wheat-fields became brown, and the houses glim- 
 mered like extinguished stars. The cold north wind 
 blew, roaring in the pines, the last lurid purple faded 
 away from the distant hills, and in half an hour the 
 world below was as dark and strange and spectral as 
 if it were an unknown planet we were passing on our 
 journey through space." 
 
 rv,These scenes have evoked fthe pen-painting of a 
 multitude of both native and foreign authors of wide 
 reputation, but with all their skill their pictures are 
 but faint outlines of the grand and almost sublime 
 landscapes that have stretched before them. It is 
 beyond the power of words to aptly describe them, 
 and much of the delicate coloring that appeals to the 
 onlooker is due to an intangible, delicate thrill that 
 creeps over the senses in their presence.

Cooper puts into the mouth of Leather-Stocg akin 
 long and beautiful eulogy of these same scenes, and 
 from the same point of observation as Taylor. 
 
 Charles Dickens, that student and delineator of men, 
 whose eyes, if we might judge from his writings, were 
 little attracted by the beautiful in nature, when on his 
 journey to the Lebanon Shakers, in his hunt after the 
 curious among mankind, seems to have been held by 
 the beauty he saw, long enough to observe, "and for 
 many miles the Kaatskill Mountains towered in the 
 blue distance, like stately clouds." 
 
 Washington Irving's legend of Rip Van Winkle has 
 become a classic and these same blue Catskills were 
 its inspiration.

 Stockport Bay from Hudson. 
 
 Where the creek at Stockport mingles its waters 
 with the Hudson was once a Mohican village. We have 
 Hendrick Hudson's own description of his visit here. 
 After stating that it was in latitude 42° 18' he says: 
 "I sailed to the shore in one of their canoes with an 
 old man, who was the chief of a tribe consisting of 
 forty men and seventeen women; these I saw there 
 in a house well constructed of oak-bark, and circular 
 in shape, so that it had the appearance of being built 
 with an arched roof. It contained a great quantity of 
 maize or Indian corn and beans of the last 3^ear's 
 growth, and there lay near the house for the purpose 
 of drying enough to load three ships, besides what 
 was growing in the fields. On our coming into the 
 house, two mats were spread out to sit upon, and 
 immediately some food was served in well-made red 
 wooden bowls; two men were also despatched at once 
 with bows and arrows in quest of game, who soon after 
 brought in a pair of pigeons which they had shot. They 
 
 42 
 
likewise killed a fat dog, and skinned it in great haste 
 with shells which they had got out of the water. They 
 supposed that I would remain with them for the night, 
 but I returned after a short time on board the ship. 
 The land is the finest for cultivation that I ever in my 
 life set foot upon, and it also abounds in trees of every 
 description. The natives are a very good people, for 
 when they saw that I would not remain, they sup- 
 posed that I was afraid of their bows, and taking the 
 arrows, they broke them in pieces and threw them in 
 the fire." The ''Half-moon" never went but six miles 
 beyond this point, although it is commonly stated 
 that Albany was the highest place reached. Here it 
 was that Hudson and his crew plied the savages with 
 liquor, an event that is usually located on Manhattan 
 island, some historians even stating that the name 
 Manhattan means "island of drunkenness." 
 
 The jutting rocks of Baeren Island still remind us of 
 the fortification of Rensselaerstein and its doughty 
 commander, Nicholas Koren, who in early times com- 
 pelled each passing vessel to lower its colors and pay a 
 tax for the benefit of the patroon Van Rensselaer. 
 Those who are blessed with a vein of humor in their 
 make-up would do well to read Irving's description of 
 how Anthony the Trumpeter was sent by William the 
 Testy with a proclamation to the garrison, and how 
 upon his return to Manhattoe with the reph^ of Koren, 
 he set all the inhabitants of that worthy borough 
 waggling their fingers in front of their noses and specu- 
 lating as to what this new sign in diplomatic converse 
 could signify. 
 
 The rumor has long been rife that Captain Kidd 
 buried his treasure upon this island and that the person 
 who could find the magic tooth that he lost would 
 have the means whereby to unearth the vast stores 
 of gold. 
 
 Here is the Vale of Tawasentha, once the home of 
 the sweet singer Nawadaha, whose weird traditions 
 were the theme of Longfellow's "Song of Hiawatha." 
 
 Where this valley discharges its waters into the 
 Hudson, on a hill called Tawassgunchee, commanding a 
 view of the beautiful river-valley for miles in each 
 direction, in 1618, was concluded the treaty between 
 the Dutch and the Five Nations, which was never 
 broken to the time the English took the reins of govern- 
 ment in 1664. What an impressive scene it must have 
 been; what a theme for the artist! At one end the 
 belt of peace was held fast by the proud Iroquois, the 
 other end being held by the hardy Hollanders, while 
 the middle rested upon the shoulders of the subjugated 
 Mohicans, Mincees, and Lenni Lenapes. 
 
 Nearly three centuries have rolled by since these 
 stately warriors and quaint old Dutch settlers con- 
 summated this compact for peace, which contributed 
 so largely to the early prosperity of this region; and 
 so impressed by the solemnity of the occasion were 
 the actors of the ceremony that tradition says the 
 
 44 
 
spirits of these dead statesmen still haunt the spot, 
 and over and over again enact the impressive scene. 
 
 Over across from here on the Schodack heights was 
 the ever-burning council-fire of the Mohican nation. 
 
 
 KiLLiAN Van Rensselaer House, 1692. 
 
 Killian Van Rensselaer was the first of the Dutch 
 patroons; his lands extending for twenty-five miles 
 on each side of the river, and forty-two east and west. 
 His manor-house, built in 1642 — the oldest building 
 in America — is still standing in the ancient village of 
 Greenbush, on the east bank of the river, across from 
 Albany. The brick of which it was built was brought 
 from Holland, and its hospitable walls and sheltering 
 roof have held nearly every personage of importance 
 who figured in the early history of our country. 
 
 In later years the lands of this manor were the 
 scenes of some of the fierce anti-rent riots, and here, 
 
 46 
 
"Some village Hampden, that with dauntless breast, 
 The little tyrant of his fields withstood;" 
 
 might frequently be seen bidding defiance to the in- 
 solent agents of the "lords of the manor." 
 
 This historic mansion, with its five windows above 
 overlooking the blue waters of the river, its massive 
 door set between the four vine-clad windows of the 
 lower floor, and protected by a neat portico guarded 
 by sinister-looking portholes on either side of its en- 
 trance, its front surmounted by a flagstaff that in 
 earlier years bore the orange, white and blue of the 
 Dutch Republic, and later the British colors, which 
 in turn gave way to the red. white and blue of American 
 independence, also gave birth to the ancient and soul- 
 stirring national doggeral, Yankee Doodle. 
 
 In 1755 some British officers were quartered here, 
 and one of them, a surgeon of the army, Dr. Shack- 
 burgh, while seated under the trees in the garden at 
 the rear of the house, wrote the lines in derision of 
 some Connecticut troops who were quartered in Albany, 
 and who with their awkward appearance and diversi- 
 fied raiment cut a rather ludicrous appearance. The 
 words were set to a very old tune called "Lucy Lockett," 
 and soon became p6pular for their jingle. During the 
 Revolution the song was modified by some British 
 wag among the troops at Boston, and again applied 
 in derision to the Yankee soldiers across the river at 
 Charlestown; but the song was taken up by the Amer- 
 icans as a martial tune that soon became one of the 
 national airs and was adopted as such at Saratoga, 
 Later the Yankees had the satisfaction of marching 
 the surrendered British troops to its music on many 
 occasions, while at the surrender of Burgoyne the 
 British had an excellent chance to familiarize them- 
 selves with its strains, as some six thousand of them 
 then marched in subjugation to its sprightly music. 
 
 Americans, as a nation, are patriotic, and as a people 
 they revere the spots that are hallowed by associa- 
 tions with the first sturdy settlers who braved the 
 dangers of an unknown land that was peopled only 
 by native savages and filled with the perils that throng 
 an unbroken w^ilderness, in their efl"orts for the estab- 
 lishment of an asylum for freedom and liberty. 
 
 That portion of the Hudson which first feels the 
 pulsations of the ocean tides may well be remembered 
 with such love and veneration, for there, indeed, is the 
 cradle in which was rocked the infant Columbia. 
 And how fitting it is that where the infant republic 
 first began its growth should now be located the Capital 
 City of the Empire State of the New World! 
 
 Here, where even the waters begin to linger as they 
 ebb and flow, as though loth to leave the lovely valley, 
 is the city that far back in the dim past sheltered the 
 hardy settlers who first came, in 1612, to colonize these 
 New Netherlands, and which has grown from a small 
 block-house to the present city populated by more 
 than 100,000 souls. 
 
 47 
 
Her elder sister, Jamestown, Va., lies long since 
 buried under the moss-grown stones and mouldering 
 ruins that mark what were once her habitations. The 
 obliteration of Jamestown leaves Albany the oldest 
 surviving settlement of the Colonial States, and to the 
 antiquarian and historian she offers many scenes of 
 interest; for she shows her staid antiquity in many 
 ways — the streets, the buildings — in fact the whole air 
 of the city is one of quiet, aristocratic age. Growth 
 and improvement have necessitated the removal and 
 destruction of many of the old landmarks; but their 
 location and associations have been preserved by the 
 erection of bronze tablets that mark the place where 
 they once stood. 
 
 Here were the homes of the poets Alfred B. Sweet 
 and John G. Saxe, and of many other men of letters 
 not only, but of soldiers and statesmen, who have by 
 their deeds emblazoned their names upon the scroll of 
 our country's history. 
 
 In 1614 the Dutch erected a small fort on an island 
 in the river where Albany now stands. It was called 
 Beaverwyck from the fact that large numbers of the 
 skins of these animals were there obtained in trade 
 from the Indians. The spring freshets so often dam- 
 aged this that they were obliged to seek a new loca- 
 tion, and the bluff at the mouth of the Tawasentha 
 Creek was chosen for a fort which was erected in 1618. 
 Subsequently, at Alban}^, where is now the dock of 
 the Peoples Line steamers, a new fortification was 
 erected in 1623, called Fort Orange, and the town 
 retained this name until 1664, when the New Nether- 
 lands passed into the hands of the English; then it 
 received the name of Albany, in honor of James, Duke 
 of York. The first stone building was erected in 1647, 
 on which occasion ''eight ankers" (128 gallons) of 
 brandy were consumed! About this time the village 
 was stockaded with strong wooden pickets, the re- 
 mains of which were visible until 1812. It had become 
 a considerable town in 1749 when Kalm visited it. 
 He says. — ''The people all spoke Dutch; the houses 
 stood with the gable ends toward the street, and the 
 water gutters at the eaves, projecting far over the 
 streets, were a great annoyance to the people. The 
 cattle having free range kept the streets dirty. The 
 people were very sociable, and the spacious stoops 
 were alwavs filled on summer evenings with neighbors 
 mingling in chit-chat. They knew nothing of stoves 
 and their chimneys were almost as broad as their 
 houses; and the people made wampum to sell to Indians 
 and traders. They were very cleanly in their houses 
 and were frugal in their diet, and integrity w^as a pre- 
 vailing virtue. Their servants were chiefly negroes." 
 
 During the Revolution, and particularly after the 
 British took possession of New York city, Albany was 
 the focus of revolutionary power in the State. There 
 the Committee of Safety had its sittings; and, after 
 the destructions of the forts in the Highlands, and the 
 burning of Kingston, it was the headquarters of the 
 
 48 
 
military and civil officers in the Northern Department, 
 lo was incorporated a city in 1686, and made the 
 Capital of the State soon after the Revolution. 
 '/, There the captive officers of Burgoyne's invading 
 army were hospitably entertained by General Schuyler 
 and his family at their spacious mansion, which is still 
 standing at the head of Schuyler street, completely 
 embosomed in trees and shrubbery. Within it the 
 Baroness Reidesel was entertained, and there also was 
 the scene of the attempted abduction of the General 
 by the Tory Waltemeyer, when he robbed the patriot 
 of his plate in 1781. There LaFayette, Steuben, Roch- 
 ambeau, and other foreign officers of eminence were 
 entertained, and there the noblest of the land, as well 
 as distinguished travelers from abroad, were frequent 
 guests during the life of the owner; and there the doors 
 were opened as freely when the voice of poverty 
 pleaded for assistance as when the great claimed 
 hospitality and courtesy. 
 
 ^^•" Although navigation ends within a few miles of 
 this place this is not all that is interesting of the river. 
 So far it has seemed more like a river of the sea whose 
 waters ebb and flow as they linger in the valley. Above 
 here it becomes more truly the ''River of the Moun- 
 tains," for, 325T'miles from its confluence with, and 
 5,000 feet above, the ocean, the Hudson begins its 
 course among the highest peaks of the Adirondacks. 
 -- The mists and vapors which cling around the bald 
 heads of Mt. Marcy and Mt. Mclntyre, coming in con- 
 tact with the colder masses of those giants are con- 
 densed, and trickle down their sides in little rivulets 
 which form a small basin of water called by the guides 
 "Summit Water," and by Verplanck Colvin "Lake 
 Tear of the Clouds." This, breaking forth in a small 
 babbling stream, is the highest source of the Hudson, 
 and in very truth it is a tear of the clouds. 
 
 We cannot follow it through the Opalescent, Sido 
 Falls, Avalanche Lake, Panther Gorge, The Gorge of 
 the Dial and the pass which the Indians call Da-yeh- 
 je-ga-go, or "the place where the storm-clouds meet 
 in battle with the great serpent," nor trace its course 
 down to the place where it makes its plunge over 
 Glen's Falls, 'and where Cooper pictures the retreat of 
 Lenfherstocking. 
 
 From this place down to Albany the historian can 
 find rich material for his musings — Fort Edward, 
 Saratoga, Bemis Heights and Schuylerville, with its 
 memories of the surrender of Burgoyne — all these 
 speak in stentorian tones, commanding him to stop, 
 while fancy, with a magic wand, recalls the past and 
 repeoples the scenes with the forms of the departed 
 multitudes in all the horrible aspects of war. 
 
 Patriotism has a language that speaks to every heart 
 throughout the world. It is a language that is under- 
 stood by all, and in every region, every clime, the 
 homage paid to it is the same. Is there a spot in all 
 this wide world where the voices are as loud and clear 
 as those which speak in this valley? Here also tra- 
 
 49 
 
dition whispers from the rocks and hills tales of Indian 
 legends, while song and story recall the deeds of the 
 quaint old Dutch settlers.^ ► - 
 
 Its blue waters lap the shores of pastoral scenes as 
 bewitching and classic as were the groves where Or- 
 pheus piped and Sappho sang to the Acadians of old; 
 they lave the feet of mountains as sublimely beautiful 
 in their rugged grandeur as any upon earth; they 
 wander through a region once watered with patriot 
 blood, where the echo of the brazen-throated war- 
 bugle, the rattle of musketry, and the boom of cannon 
 still murmur among the hills; they flow beneath a sky 
 of as deep a blue as spreads its canopy above sunny 
 Italy, and their summer winds are as soft and fragrant 
 as those zephyrs which, — 
 
 ''oppressed with perfume, 
 Wax faint o'er the gardens of Gul in her bloom." 
 To the student familiar with the valley and the 
 events which are associated with it, the very ripples 
 as they murmur along the pebbly shores seem in low 
 tones to repeat the story. The same hills stand guard 
 on either shore, the same sunlit waves roll between; 
 the sun and rain fthat coaxed the maize into being 
 for the red man still bless the fields of his white brother; 
 the valley is the same. 
 
 But what of the Indian who once considered this 
 bis elysium? He has departed like Hiawatha- 
 "' In the glory of the sunset, 
 In the purple mists of evening, 
 To the regions of the home-wind 
 Of the Northwest-wind, Keewaydin, 
 To the Islands of the Blessed, 
 To the kingdom of Ponemah, 
 To the land of the Hereafter I ' "■

NEW DAY LINE PIER 
 
 AT WEST 42d STREET, NEW YORK CITY 
 
 Realizing the fact that the trend of business in New 
 York City is steadily moving uptown, the Day Line has 
 discontinued landing at West 22d street and now 
 lands at the magnificent new Pier it has recently 
 completed at West 42d street instead. This new Pier, 
 the first of its kind along the water front which combines 
 art and utility, is 800 feet long and 60 feet wide and 
 the novel structure that covers it is both original and 
 handsome in design, with its decorations of growing 
 vines, covering pergolas which lead to open porticoes for 
 waiting passengers to use in pleasant weather, is a 
 distinct and pleasant advance in the Pier sheds lately 
 built along the water front. This Pier is also used 
 by the steamer "Mary Powell" and the Sandy Hook 
 boats of the Central Railroad of New Jersey, making 
 the foot of West 42d street one of the greatest 
 passenger terminals in New York City. During the 
 summer season the Day Line steamers and the Sandy 
 Hook boats make direct connection, thus affording 
 a delightful and easy route between the mountains and 
 the seashore resorts on the New Jersey coast, all tedious 
 transfer through New York City being avoided. 
 
 Forty-second street is the great cross-town street of 
 New York City, being in the heart of the hotel, theatri- 
 cal and shopping district; and the new Pier, which is 
 the finest passenger pier in the city, is easily accessible 
 by the numerous car lines from every part of Manhattan.

 Information for Passengers. 
 
 ( Con tin ued from page 6 g . J 
 
 Passengers should always procure their tickets at 
 regular Ticket Offices, as there are numerous expired, 
 counterfeit and stolen tickets in the hands of unauthor- 
 ized parties. 
 
 Passengers when purchasing tickets should see that 
 same are stamped with official dating stamp of the selling 
 Agent, and that they read to destination desired, and in 
 checking baggage should always see that the number of 
 the strap check placed on baggage corresponds with 
 duplicate in their possession. 
 
 In the event of any disagreement with the Purser 
 relative to tickets required, privileges allowed, etc., pas- 
 sengers should pay Purser's claim, take his receipt, and 
 refer the case for adjustment to the General Passenger 
 Agent, who will promptly refund any overcharge. The 
 Purser has no discretionary power in such matters, but 
 is governed by rules which he is not authorized to change. 
 
 Passengers holding or purchasing tickets over connect- 
 ing railroads can have their baggage checked through to 
 destination, without any transfer charges, by applying to 
 the Baggage Master. 
 
 Baggage will not be put oflf at any way landing unless 
 claimed and checked by owner. 
 
 Baggage cannot be checked to a point short of desti- 
 nation of ticket, except on unlimited tickets and tourist 
 tickets at points where stop-over is allowed. 
 
 Passengers are requested to claim their baggage upon 
 its arrival at landings. This Company does not hold 
 itself liable for loss or damage to baggage after sufficient 
 time has been allowed for its removal. If not removed 
 within twenty-four hours, storage will be charged on 
 each piece at the following rates : First twenty-four 
 hours free ; second twenty-four hours or fraction thereof, 
 twenty-five cents ; and for each additional twenty-four 
 hours or fraction thereof, ten cents. 
 
 As a matter of ordinary and proper precaution the 
 owner's name and address should be plainly marked 
 upon each trunk or piece of baggage checked, and the 
 owner should make a note of the number of his check 
 to aid identification and recovery in case of loss. 
 
 No horses, carriages or freight of any description are 
 carried by the Steamers of this line. 
 
 Corpses are not carried. 
 
 g^^ Dogs will not be taken unless in crates ; then a 
 charge of half fare will be made. Crates can be secured 
 on application at the Company's piers, or from the Bag- 
 gage Masters on the boats.

 ( Continued fro7n page 71.) 
 
 ^^ A charge of fifty cents each is made on baby car- 
 riages, but as these cannot be checked to points beyond 
 regular landings, it is strongly recommended that they be 
 forwarded through to destination by Express, as in many 
 instances the cost would be less than the amount accru- 
 ing from the rates charged by the Lines over which they 
 are to go, besides the advantage to the owner in not be- 
 ing troubled with them at the different transfer points. 
 
 A coat-room is provided on main deck, where pass- 
 engers can check their small valises, parcels, etc., and 
 have them cared for free of charge. 
 
 The steamers of this line being designed for day service 
 only, have no state rooms, and there is no accommodation 
 for passengers wishing to remain on board over night. 
 On each steamer there are a few private parlors for which 
 a charge of from ^5 to S6 each is made. Owing to the 
 limited number of these rooms they are not considered 
 engaged unless paid for at the time reservation is made. 
 
 Meals are served a la carte from 7.00 a.m. in the Res- 
 taurant on the main deck aft. Table d'hote breakfast 
 at seventy-five cents until 9.30 a. m. Also table d'hote 
 dinner at one dollar, between the hours of 11.00 a. m. and 
 3.00 p. M. Coffee, sandwiches, fruits, pastry, etc., can 
 be obtained during the day at the Lunch-room, entrance 
 by stairway from the main deck forward. 
 
 Newburgh excursionists wishing to extend their trip to 
 Poughkeepsie, where connection is made with the south- 
 bound boat, can, upon payment of fifty cents, have their 
 excursion tickets exchanged at the Purser's oflBce. 
 
 Passengers holding first-class through tickets via Buf- 
 falo or Niagara Falls, are permitted to stop over at 
 Niagara Falls for a period not exceeding ten days. In 
 order to avail themselves of this privilege, passengers 
 will deposit their ticket with the Agent of the New York 
 Central & Hudson River R. R., at Niagara Falls station 
 immediately on their arrival at that point, being given 
 in return a receipt for ticket. 
 
 The management of the Hudson River Day Line 
 invites the criticism of its patrons in all matters con- 
 nected with its service, when this takes the form of 
 suggestions for improvement ; the calling of attention to 
 any lack in appliances and methods for safety or com- 
 fort; or complaints relating to incivility or inattention 
 on the part of its employees. The constant aim of the 
 management is to perfect and maintain the service at the 
 highest possible standard and to render it first-class in 
 every respect, and communications bearing upon this 
 end will be appreciated. 
 
 Passengers are requested not to give fees to any of the 
 employees. ^^ 
 
The Steamer ''Hendrick Hudson." 
 
 The progress of our National Commerce is probably 
 more emphatically marked by the construction of this 
 great steamer than by any other event of a like nature. 
 Up to last year her sister steamers, the "New York," 
 "Albany," and " Mary Powell," held easily the world's 
 record for boats of their class, but the increased popu- 
 larity of the Hudson day service, and the anxiety of the 
 Day Line to be not only abreast of, but ahead of the 
 times, has resulted in the placing in commission of this 
 splendid steamer. 
 
 The " Hendrick Hudson" was built at Newburgh by 
 the Marvel Company, under contract with the W. & A. 
 Fletcher Company of New York, who built her engines, 
 and under designs from Frank E. Kirby. Her principal 
 dimensions are : length, 400 feet ; breadth over all, 82 
 feet ; depth of hold, 14 feet 5 inches, and a draft of 7 
 feet 6 inches. Her propelling machinery is what is 
 known as the 3-cylinder compound direct acting engine, 
 and her power (5,000-horse) is applied through side 
 wheels with feathering buckets, and steam is supplied 
 from eight boilers. 
 
 Steel has been used in her construction to such an 
 extent that her hull, her bulk-heads (7 in all), her en- 
 gine and boiler enclosures, her kitchen and ventilators, 
 her stanchions, girders, and deck beams, and in fact the 
 whole essential frame work of the boat is like a great 
 steel building. Where wood is used it is hard wood, 
 and in finish probably has no equal in marine work. 
 
 Her scheme of decoration, ventillation and sanitation 
 is as artistic and scientific as modern methods can pro- 
 duce, and at the same time her general lay out for prac- 
 tical and comfortable operation is the evolution of the 
 long number of years in which the Day Line has been 
 conductnig the passenger business. 
 
 A detailed account of this steamer would be a long 
 story, but some of the salient features are as follows : 
 She carries the largest passenger license ever issued, 
 namely: for 5,500 people ; on her trial trip she made the 
 fastest record through the water of any inland passenger 
 ship in this country, namely: 23.1 miles per hour. Her 
 shafts are under the main deck. Her Mural paintings 
 represent prominent features of the Hudson, which may 
 not be well seen from the steamer. Her equipment far 
 exceeds the requirements of the Government Inspection 
 Laws.

The Steamer " Robert Fulton." 
 
 This latest addition to the Day Line fleet is a product 
 of the year which marks the joint celebration of the 
 discovery of the River by Hendrick Hudson, and the 
 construction of the first commercially successful steam- 
 boat by Robert Fulton. Her keel was laid January 11, 
 1900 ; her operation beginning May 29th, four and one- 
 half months later. She was constructed at the great 
 works of the New York Shipbuilding Company at Cam- 
 den, N. J., and built entirely under cover, so that the 
 work could progress day and night in all kinds of weather. 
 
 The ablest naval architects and marine engineers in 
 America, the foremost of our designers, artists and 
 artisans, and practical and experienced steamboat 
 operating men have carefully collaborated in the con- 
 struction of this steamer, to make her the most refined 
 and satisfactory passenger carrier ever produced. Sim- 
 plicity and security are united with speed, comfort and 
 luxury. A gay and delicate scheme of decoration com- 
 bines, with the more serious mural paintings illustrating 
 the early days of river life ashore, the development of 
 steam navigation on the river and the portraits of some of 
 the most prominent personages connected with the river, 
 in making, not an allegory, bnt a historical sequence. 
 
 The dimensions of the "Robert Fulton" are as 
 follows : Length o48 feet; beam over all, 76 feet; depth 
 of hold, 12 feet, 9 inches; capacity 4,000 passengers. 
 She has a beam engine built by the W. & A. Fletcher 
 Company of Hoboken, N. J. Cylinders 75 inches by 12 
 feet stroke, developing 3,850 horse power — side wheels 
 and feathering buckets. A large lunch room is located 
 in the forward cabin vmder the Orchestra. The dining 
 room is on the main deck afc, and she has four decks, 
 namely: main, saloon, grand promenade, and observa- 
 tion deck. Plate glass is used exclusively, and the con-' 
 struction generally, as much as possible, is of steel, 
 asbestelith and composition board. 
 
 In the last three years the Hudson River Day Line 
 has added to its equipment two magnificent new 
 steamers, the "Hendrick Hudson" and the" Robert 
 Fulton." It has built four splendid new piers and 
 passenger buildings, viz. West 42d Street, New York 
 City, Newburgh, Poughkeepsie and Albany, and it has 
 more than doubled its services in the lower half of the 
 river by placing the famous Iron Steamer "Albany" 
 in the New York to Poughkeepsie Special Excursion 
 business. It feels perfectly confident in asserting that 
 in service alone there is nowhere in the world its equal 
 for transporting tourist passenger trafiic, and to this may 
 be added that in all the world there can be found no 
 water journey which combines so much of beauty and 
 interest as is found in the charming Hudson Valley which 
 it serves. 
 
 77 
 
The Steamer "Albany." 
 
 The "Albany" is undoubtedly one of the most beau- 
 tiful steamers ever constructed. Her graceful lines and 
 great deck room forward are very noticeable and com- 
 mand marked attention. She is one of the finest vessels 
 afloat and combines all the known improvements that 
 go toward making travel by water safe and attractive. 
 
 The " Albany" was built by the Harlan & HoUings- 
 worth Co., of Wilmington, Del., in 1880. During the 
 winter of 1892, she was lengthened thirty feet and fur- 
 nished with modern feathering wheels in place of the 
 old style radial ones. Her hull is of iron, 325 feet long, 
 breadth of beam over all 75 feet, and her tonnage is 
 1,415 gross tons. Her engine was built by the W. & A. 
 Fletcher Co., of New York, and develops 3,200 horse 
 power. The stroke is 12 feet, and the diameter of the 
 cylinder is 73 inches. On her trial trip she ran from 
 New York to Poughkeepsie, a distance of 75 miles, in 
 three hours and seven minutes. Steam steering gear is 
 used on the " Albany," thus insuring ease and precision 
 in handling her. The wood-work on the main deck and 
 in the upper saloons is all hard wood ; mahogany, ash 
 and maple tastefully carved. Wide, easy staircases lead 
 to the main saloon and upper decks. Rich Axminster 
 carpets cover the floors, and mahogany tables and fur- 
 niture of antique design and elegant finish make up the 
 appointments of a handsomely furnished drawing room. 
 A life-sized marble bust of a young girl ornaments the 
 head of the grand staircase. It is Palmer's ideal concep- 
 tion of " June." The walls are adorned with oil paint- 
 ings by Emile Princhart of Paris, F. D. Briscoe of Phila- 
 delphia, and Yzquierdo of Madrid, Spain. The richly 
 furnished private parlors of the " Albany" are a notable 
 feature, giving absolute seclusion and privacy to small 
 parties or families. Another equally desirable feature is 
 the elegant dining-room, which is located on the main 
 deck in order that tourists while enjoying their dinner 
 may not be deprived of viewing the beautiful scenery for 
 which the Hudson is renowned. The carrying capacity 
 of the " Albany" is 4,500, but a license for 3,000 pas- 
 sengers only is applied for, in order that there may be no 
 disagreeable crowding.

THE CATSKILL MOUNTAINS. 
 
 '• Friends of my heart, lovers of Nature's works. 
 Let me transport you to those wild blue mountains 
 That rear their summits near the Hudson's wave. 
 On their heights 
 
 I Your souls may have a sweet foretaste of heaven." 
 
 This charming group of mountains has now become 
 so famous the world over, the natural assumption of 
 the average reader would be that little need be said or 
 written regarding the location or general characteristics. 
 For thirty years and more the Catskill range has been 
 one of the most beautiful and delightful summer resorts 
 on the Western Continent. Its visitors and summer 
 dwellers are no longer confined to any state or nation, 
 but they come from every corner of civilization. For 
 hundreds of these who are coming this season for the 
 first time, for thousands of others who are planning to 
 come in the near future and are now in search of infor- 
 mation about the place, as well as for many of those 
 who have only made hasty visits to the range, this little 
 book would be incomplete and unsatisfactory if it con- 
 tained no reference to the location and structure of this 
 most interesting mountain region. 
 
 Although somewhat less than a hundred miles from 
 New York city on the western bank of the Hudson, 
 these romantic Catskills are in no danger of being in- 
 cluded in the expansive and elastic area now familiarly 
 known as "Greater New York." Their picturesque 
 wildness and native grandeur can never be lost in the 
 dissolving shadows of men's ideas in brick and mortar. 
 
 A spur of the great Appalachian system which extends 
 along the entire Atlantic coast from Maine to Alabama, 
 the general trend of the Catskills is from southeast to 
 northwest, at right angles to that of all the other moun- 
 tain groups in this system. They cover a superficial 
 area of about 2,400 square miles. Some of the highest 
 peaks are near the eastern face, from eight to ten miles 
 west of the river. Here the mountains rise abruptly 
 from the base over 3,000 feet in the air. The innumer- 
 able peaks differ materially in physical structure and 
 plastic form, and geologically they are quite unlike the 
 ordinary mountain formations. Instead of the usual 
 folds or fragments of arches, so commonly seen else- 
 where, the Catskill crags are masses of piled-up strata 
 in the original horizontal position. Vast masses of con- 
 glomerate, presenting all the conditions of a huge pile 
 of quicksand in its primitive stage, prior to its conver- 
 sion into stone, are seen all through the range. Thus 
 the theory of a high plateau originally seems clearly 
 establiBhed. Glacial action is fuUy indicated, thirteen 
 
 129f 
 
each yiBitationB having been distinctly traced and their 
 angle of direction recorded. Professor Arnold Guyot, 
 who made more careful and scientific investigation and 
 personal observation of the Catskills than any other 
 man, having spent seventeen summers in the range, was 
 led to conclude that in pre-historic ages the surface of 
 the earth had ten times more water upon it than now, 
 and this water was then the great agent in the confor- 
 mation or transformation of the earth's crust. Other 
 scientific writers and geologists have woven still more 
 ingenious theories concerning this erratic and charming 
 group of mountains, and with far less personal knowl- 
 edge or data. And yet there is room for investigation, 
 conjecture and speculation. The rugged and beautiful 
 crags rise in the air 3,000 and 4,000 feet and their mas- 
 sive and precipitous slopes, clothed in cyclopean mantles 
 of living green, with the smiling and verdant valleys 
 all between, are there and have been for ages, defying 
 the assaults of Time, baffling the research and thought 
 of man and challenging our admiration for all time 
 to come. 
 
 There is, too, a wealth of Indian lore and Dutch 
 tradition regarding the Catskill region which the skilled 
 romancer may readily adapt to the fertile fancies of 
 his creative imagination and serve up with graphic 
 detail. Who has not read every line of "Rip Van 
 Winkle " and drank in every word of the eloquent 
 tales of the immortal Cooper, who made "Natty 
 Bumpo " the most eloquent woodsman that ever lived t 
 Hear him as he stands on one of the crowning crags 
 overlooking the valley of the Hudson : 
 
 " I was on that hill when Vaughn burnt 'Sopus in the 
 last war, and I seen the vessels come out of the High- 
 lands as plainly as I can see that lime-scow moving 
 into the Susquehanna, though one was twenty times 
 further from me than the other. The river was in sight 
 for seventy miles under my feet, looking like a curled 
 shaving, though it was eight long miles to its banks. 
 1 saw the hills in the Hampshire grants, the Highlands 
 of the river, and all that God had done, or man can do, 
 as far as the eye could reach ; and as for 'Sopus, the 
 day the royal troops burnt the town, the smoke seemed 
 30 nigh that I thought I could hear the screeches of 
 the women. 
 
 "If being the best part of a mile in the air, and 
 having views of farms and houses at your feet, with 
 rivers looking like ribbons, and mountains seeming to 
 be hay-stacks of green grass under you, give any satis- 
 faction to a man, I can recommend the spot. When I 
 first came into the woods to live I used to have weak 
 spells, and I felt lonesome, and then I would go into 
 the Catskills and spend a few days on that hill to look 
 at the ways of man." 
 
 It would indeed be difficult even now to set forth the 
 advantages of this charming summer region more clearly 
 and eloquently than this noted character of modem 
 fiction has done in the paragraphs quoted. He was the 
 first person who soug'ht the Catskills for the restoration 
 
 131 
 
of paimired health, bo far as we have definite record, 
 and it would seem, therefore, simple justice to accord 
 to "Leather-Stocking-" the honor of discovering- and 
 proclaiming to the world the great health-giving- proper- 
 ties and revitalizing influences for which the Catskills 
 have since become so justly famous. How well he has 
 depicted the scenic beauty of these hills of the sky can 
 never be extolled too hig-hly. 
 
 When asked, *'What see you when you get there ? " 
 he drops his fishing rod into the water and exclaims 
 enthusiastically : " Creation ! All creation, lad ! " He 
 had never read a book in his life, and yet his descrip- 
 tions of the Catskills, their wild-wood wonders and 
 beauties, have never been equalled. Note this gem 
 which bubbles spontaneously from his lips as he looks 
 into the pretty Kaaterskill stream which makes that 
 wondrous water-fall at the Laurel House, where the 
 water plunges madly over and down the rocks for three 
 hundred feet : 
 
 *' A drop for the old Hudson, and a merry time it 
 has till it gets down off the mountain. I've sat on this 
 shelving rock many a long hour, boy, and watched the 
 bubbles as they shot by me, and thought how long it 
 would be before that very water, which seemed made 
 for the wilderness, would be under the bottom of a 
 vessel, and tossing in the salt sea. It is a spot to make 
 man solemnize. You can see right down into the valley 
 that lies to the east of the High Peak, where in the fall 
 of the year thousands of acres of woods are before 
 your eyes in the deep hollow and along the side of the 
 mountain, painted like ten thousand rainbows by no 
 hand of man, though not without the ordering of God's 
 providence." 
 
 How much of beauty there is in this water of the 
 Catskills. At every turn of the road, the low murmur 
 of running water sounds upon the ear of the stroller. 
 The cold, sparkling water ripples to the sunshine in a 
 million tiny streamlets, each making music as it goes. 
 It trinkles slowly over the cool, green mossy bank, 
 plunges wildly over the precipice, throwing its gentle 
 spray over the surrounding foliage, or sending it up in 
 a soft mist which catches the sunbeams and paints the 
 rainbow ; it bubbles from a thousand crystal springs on 
 the mountain side, and anon goes tumbling and roaring 
 through the deep, dark gorges on its winding way to 
 the river, babbling and singing merrily in melodious 
 strains and rythmic measure, hastening among the 
 smooth and indifferent pebbles, or over sinuous and 
 obstructing roots. It lies slumbering in deep, placid 
 lakes, whose smooth surface mirrors the romantic 
 beauty of the leafy slopes and margins, and again it 
 gathers in the dark and ang^y clouds around, and just 
 over our heads ; the vivid Ughtning flashes, and the 
 thunder shakes the mountain with its warning. Down 
 it pours in torrents, or in the pelting hail, driven at 
 times, by mad and violent winds, or with pretty, coquet- 
 tish sunbeams, scattered all between. Up, in turn, it 
 rises to the air above, slowly but steadily there to float 
 
 183 
 
of and fro, flitting up the cafiona in long, filmy streamer!, 
 lingering quietly at eventide on the easel of the western 
 sky, as if to catch the gorgeous and beautiful tints 
 reflected from the retiring orb of day, or silently and 
 mysteriously at night, while we sleep, gathering in the 
 tiny dew-drop, that sparkles in the morning sunshine, 
 more gloriously and more beautifully than all the bril- 
 liant gems of the earth beside. 
 
 The facile pen of Washington Irving has also con- 
 tributed very much to the enchantment and immortali- 
 zation of this shadow-land of legend and romance. 
 And his name must ever be coupled with that of Cooper 
 in the fabrication of this mystic halo which is destined 
 to outlive the towering old crags themselves. The 
 brushmarks of their eloquent imaginations are as fresh 
 to-day as when first they fell upon the pliant canvas of 
 the future. 
 
 Irving traced the name " Catskill," or ** Katskill," to 
 the time of the Dutch domination ; it being derived, as 
 he thought, from the catamounts which then infested 
 the region more abundantly than now, although the 
 animal is often seen there yet. But the black bear is 
 more numerous and many are captured all through the 
 range every winter. Irving regarded these mountains 
 as the fairy regions of the Hudson. He quaintly relates 
 how the great treasury of storm and sunshine was 
 presided over by the spirit of an old Indian squaw who 
 dwelt among these hills. *' She made new moons every 
 month," he says, '' and hung them up in the sky, cutting 
 up the old ones into stars. The great Manitou, or master 
 spirit, employing her to manufacture clouds. Some- 
 times she wove them out of cobwebs, gossamers, and 
 morning dew, and sent them off, flake after flake, to 
 float in the air and give light summer showers. Some- 
 times she would blow up black thunder-storms and 
 send down drenching rains to swell the streams and 
 sweep everything away." As to these superstitions he 
 aptly continues, "They may have been suggested by 
 the atmospherical phenomena of these mountains, the 
 clouds which gather around their summits and the 
 thousand aerial effects which indicate the changes of 
 weather over a great extent of country. They are 
 epitomes of our variable climate, and are stamped with 
 all its vicissitudes, which are too often made the subject 
 of excessive repining. If they annoy us occasionally 
 by changes — they give us one of the most beautiful 
 climates in the world — the brilliant sunshine of the 
 south of Europe, with the fresh verdure of the north. 
 They float our summer sky with clouds of gorgeous 
 tints or breezy whiteness, and send down cooling 
 showers to refresh the panting earth and keep it green. 
 Our seasons are all poetical, the phenomena of our 
 heavens are full of sublimity and beauty. The splendor 
 of this Catskill summer — its morning voluptuousness 
 and evening glory — its airy palaces of sun-gilt clouds, 
 piled up in a deep azure sky, and its gusts of tempest 
 of almost tropical grandeur, when the forked Ughtning 
 and the bellowing thunder volley, from the battlements 
 
 135 
 
of heaven, shake the sultry atmosphere and the sublime 
 melancholy of our Autumn, magnificent in its decay, 
 withering- down the pomp and pride of a woodland 
 country, yet reflecting- back from its yellow forests the 
 g-olden serenity of the sky ! " 
 
 It is now two hundred and eig-hteen years ag-o that 
 these Catskill lands were purchased from the Indians. 
 On July 8, 1678, a company of Dutch and Eng-lish gen- 
 tlemen, at the Stadt Huis, in Albany, met Mahak- 
 Neminan, the Indian, and six representatives of his 
 tribe, for the purpose of effecting- the purchase of this 
 region. The title, with its curious hierog-lyphics, was 
 passed, and the aboriginal owners of the ** Onteoras," 
 it is said, disappeared from the locality soon after. 
 Concerning- this newly acquired territory for a century 
 after that the record is strangely incomplete. Some 
 writers have suspected that the veracious chroniclers 
 of that early period were in prophetic leag-ue with the 
 famous author of ** Rip Van Winkle," who came upon 
 the scene many years later, and was thus enabled to 
 let his fancy run untrammelled by any conflicting- details 
 of current history. Be that as it may, it was not until 
 1823 that the first summer hotel in the Catskills was 
 built. This rude little structure stood on the historic 
 site now occupied by the Catskill Mountain House, 
 which, as will be seen, is the pioneer hotel in the rang-e. 
 This famous resort will thus open for its eig-hteenth 
 season this year. Coming- into the possession of Mr. 
 C. L. Beach by accident, he at first soug-ht only to 
 entertain his friends who might chance to visit him, 
 his larg-e business connections having- secured a wide 
 circle of acquaintance in this and other lands. But the 
 transcendant natural beauty and grandeur of the place 
 attracted visitors far beyond his facilities for entertain- 
 ment, and he was forced to enlarg-e his building-s from 
 time to time. Some ten or twelve years later the noted 
 Laurel House, at the head of the famous Kaaterskill 
 Falls, beg-an to entertain summer visitors under the 
 management of the genial and well-remembered Schutt. 
 These two houses then were quite suflRicient to accom- 
 modate all who visited the Catskills, and no other hotels 
 were built or needed during several years succeeding. 
 In fact, the mountain visitors of that period consisted of 
 artists, poets, authors and people of eminence mainly. 
 To reach the place was a long and tiresome journey 
 at best and not wholly free from danger over the rude, 
 unbeaten roads, and it was also attended by considerable 
 expense. Very little was known of the region, its 
 beauties or advantages as a sanitarium, and it was not 
 until some years later that these mountains began to 
 enter upon tneir career as a popular summer region. 
 Even so late as 1870 it was estimated that not over two 
 thousand persons came in the range. But after that 
 the advent of fleet Hudson river steamers and mountain 
 railways brought rapid and steady development, and 
 the summer contingents of the Catskills soon increased 
 to its present marvelous proportions, when a conserva- 
 tive estimate would place the annual number of visitors 
 
 137 
 
at nearly of three hundred thousand. The facilities 
 access and means of entertainment are now so ample 
 and complete, and the cost of a mountain sojourn so 
 moderate, that additional thousands are attracted each 
 succeeding season. With such mammoth and palatial 
 resorts as Hotel Kaaterskill, Catskill Mountain House, 
 Laurel House, the Antlers, the New Grand, Churchill 
 Hall, the Grant, Prospect Park, and many others which 
 might well be mentioned, and the thousand or more 
 besides, large and small, which dot the range in every 
 locality, visitors of every name and nature cannot fail 
 to secure such comforts and entertainment as they may 
 desire or be willing to pay for. 
 
 But to the average CatskiD visitor, who comes ex- 
 hausted and enervated from a busy and laborious life 
 in the hot and dirty city, the very best and most 
 important of all the many attractions which the Catskill 
 region has to offer is the invigorating air. For breath- 
 ing purposes these mountains are certainly unexcelled, 
 and if they were bereft of every other desirable feature 
 this alone would make the region of inestimable value for 
 summer life and fully warrant all its claims as a popular 
 summer resort. For surely without this health promoting 
 factor the mountain menu would be sadly deficient, and 
 the enchanting scenery would count for very little. 
 Here amid these hills one may drink in new vitality at 
 every breath. The strong, dry air of the upper eleva- 
 tions rummages around through the lungs and uncovers 
 a million or more disused cells the existence of which 
 we had never once suspected. Then comes a gi'and 
 hygienic jubilee which stimulates the appetite, flushes 
 the cheeks, quickens the pulse and surcharges the whole 
 system with new strength and energy, thus reinforcing 
 and refitting us for the resumption of our life work. 
 This sanitary aspect of the summer vacation is com- 
 paratively a modern discovery which even to this day 
 is not fully understood nor accorded the importance it 
 deserves. We not only escape the heat, the oppressive 
 humidity, the dirt, the noise and the vitiated, second- 
 hand air of the cities when we come to the Catskills, 
 but we get a host of beneficient atmospheric influences 
 which Nature compounds so mysteriously up here in 
 her aerial laboratories and sends bounding through our 
 weakened organic structure without money and without 
 price. We may thus leave behind for a time the dregs 
 of city civilization, the cares and annoyances of business 
 and the foolish demands of society, and run out among 
 these glorious hills, the rocks, the green trees and 
 fields, the fresh air and breeze-tempered sunshine, where 
 the brooks babble and gurgle melodiously and the 
 birds sing joyously to the whispering accompaniment 
 of the peaceful leaves. 
 
 Another important factor in the summer vacation is 
 the great need of change, and this is quite as imperative 
 as any other element, perhaps. We need change of 
 scene, thought and action, atjeast once each year. The 
 monotonous routine of our daily lives must be broken 
 in upon. The human mind was not made to rust out in 
 
 138 
 
any single groove, no matter how smoothly and swiftly 
 may seem to move along in that congenial groove for 
 a time. Change is a law of nature ; no two days are 
 ever alike. Our skies are continually changing, and 
 the seasons are a succession of changes. A month or 
 two of real country life in summer has grown to be a 
 necessity which the average worker in the city can 
 ignore only at his peril. It makes it possible to enjoy 
 the town life during the rest of the year. And now 
 with all the varied facilities for travel afforded by the 
 palatial steamers of the Day Line, and the frequent 
 railway trains which hourly move through the charming 
 Hudson river valley, the many mountain hotels amid 
 the enchanting Catskills ; with all this ready ease of 
 access and at such trifling cost, there is indeed little 
 excuse for remaining in town during the summer. The 
 sail up the magnificent Hudson by daylight is in itself 
 worth ten times its cost in money and time in any and 
 every aspect in which it can be presented. 
 
 Concerning the various localities in the Catskill region 
 which continue to vie with each other in attractions and 
 advantages little need be said in these pages. Each 
 has its peculiar charms which rarely fail to attract a 
 full quota of visitors. Those who prefer the higher 
 altitudes will select such resorts as Hotel Kaaterskill, 
 the old Catskill Mountain House, Laurel House, the 
 Antlers, and the numerous houses in the Haines Falls, 
 Tannersville and Hunter region, for the Greene county 
 section ; and those who desire the western and southei-n 
 Catskills, may sojourn delightfully at the New Grand, 
 the many Pine Hill hotels, Churchill Hall, or some one 
 of the numerous charming houses in the pretty villages 
 of Stamford, Grand Gorge, Roxbury, Shandaken, and 
 other points on the Ulster & Delaware Railroad, which 
 have grown so popular in recent years. Others will 
 stop at Cairo, Windham, Prattsville, Palenville, or the 
 Grant House down near the river at Catskill village, 
 all of which are most easily and conveniently reached 
 by the famous steel steamers of the Hudson River Day 
 Line, which offer a choice of two routes to the resorts of 
 the Catskills, via either Kingston Point or Catskill.

 Otis Railway— Looking Down. 
 141 
 
THE :0TI8 EAILWAI. 
 
 The sensation of the Oatskills, and one of its most popular 
 features, is the new Otis Railway, which is built on the 
 almost perpendicular slope of the Mountain, and extends from 
 Otis Junction on the Catskill Mountain Railway to Otis Summit 
 Station at the top of the Mountains. It is an incline railway 
 7,000 feet long. In that distance it ascends 1,600 feet and 
 attains an elevation of 2,200 feet above the Hudson River. In 
 length, elevation, overcome and carrying capacity it exceeds 
 any other incline railway in the world. It was built and first 
 opened for traflBc in 1892. It is operated by powerful stationary 
 engines and huge steel wire cables, and the method employed i;-' 
 similar to that used by the Otis Elevator Company for elevators 
 in buildings. On the top of the power house, in which are 
 located the two 100 horse-power engines that hoist and lower the 
 cars, is a tower, and in this stands the operator, with his three 
 levers, and manages both cars. He is in electric communication 
 with each. The cars are open front, back and at the sides, so 
 that no part of the magnificent panorama, extending for miles 
 and miles on every side is lost to view. The road is indeed a 
 remarkable piece of engineering. The chief engineer of the 
 road, Mr. Thomas E, Brown, also designed and built the 
 elevators of the Eiffel Tower in Paris, and of El Dorado at 
 Weehawken. The only other inclined road in this country ol 
 importance is the one on Lookout Mountain. There is also on 
 in Switzerland and one on Mount Vesuvius. The Otis, however, 
 is acknowledged to be the most perfect piece of engineering ol 
 the four. Every safeguard has been provided so that an accident 
 of any kind is practically impossible. Should the machinery 
 break, the cables snap or tracks spread, an ingenious automatic 
 device would stop the cars at once. A passenger car and baggage 
 car are attached to each end of double cables which pass around 
 immense drums located at the top of the incline. While on 
 train rises the other descends, passing each other midway. By 
 this arrangement trains carrying from seventy-five to one 
 hundred passengers can be run in each direction every fifteen 
 minutes when necessary, the time required for a trip being only 
 ten minutes. This is a vast improvement over the old way of 
 making the ascent of the mountains by stage, as it reduces the 
 time fully one and a half hours besides adding gi-eatly to the 
 pleasure of the trip. The ride up the mountains on the incline; 
 railway is a novel and delightful experience and is alone worth a 
 visit to the Catskills. As the train ascends, the magnificent 
 panorama of the valley of the Hudson extending for miles and 
 miles is gradually unfolded ; while the river itself, like a ribbon 
 of silver glistening in the sun, and the Berkshire Hills in the 
 distance seem to rise up to the view of the passenger. At the 
 summit of the incline, stages are taken for the Hotel Kaater- 
 skill and Catskill Mountain House, and direct connection is made 
 with the Catskill and Tannersville R. R. for Laurel House, 
 Haines Falls and Tannersville.

Interior of a Catskill Mountain Cottage. 
 
 COTTAGE LIFE IN THE OATSKILLS. 
 
 One of the most marvelous features attending the wonderful 
 development of the Catskill mountain region as a summer resort, 
 has been the unique but extremely pleasant system of cottage 
 life. Whether its inception was due to an original lack of suita- 
 ble accommodations or to the exclusiveness of some of the earlier 
 sojourners in the mountains, it is impossible to say, but begin- 
 ning in a modest way with plain yet rustic structures, the system 
 has developed and expanded, until to-day, among the hundreds 
 of cottages that have been erected, are found some of great cost 
 and beauty, containing all the requirements of a model home. 
 Every season witnesses a large addition to the number, from the 
 quaint log cabin, picturesquely embellished by the ingenuity of 
 the designer with such natural productions as nature has placed 
 at his immediate command, the entire outlay, including the 
 building site, representing but a few hundred dollars, to be 
 elaborate and stately villa, with its granite chimneys and artistic 
 towers and minarets, involving an expense of thousands. 
 
 The proximity of the Catskill region to the great cities of the 
 Eastern seaboard, its ease of access, requiring but a few hours 
 travel from New York, and the consequent limited expense for 
 transportation, combined with the wonderful natural beauties the 
 
 144 
 
mountains offer, their acknowledged healthfulness, pure bracing 
 air, clear crystal water and the absolute freedom from malaria or 
 insects, have united to produce the greatest and most popular 
 health and pleasure resort on this continent. 
 
 For a man of family nothing could be more delightful than the 
 possession of a summer home of this kind, and the constant in- 
 crease in the number of cottages built each year is conclusive 
 evidence that this fact is becoming better appreciated as the 
 many advantages of the Catskill Mountains as a summer resort 
 become more widely known. 
 
 COTTAGE PAEKS, 
 
 Camps and cottage parks have become quite an important fea- 
 ture of Catskill Mountain life, and this season will probably see 
 a still further development of the idea. 
 
 The Catskill Camp and Cottage Company have selected a spot 
 comprising over one thousand acres of land, to which they have 
 applied the pretty Indian name of Onteora, or Hills of the Sky, 
 and are making it one of the most charming spots in 
 the Catskills. 
 
 Twilight Park is another attractive cottage settlement in the 
 same vicinity, an outgrowth of the New York Twilight Club. It 
 numbers some well-known people among its membership. 
 
 The Elka Club has also a large track at the base of Spruce Top, 
 near Mink Hollow. The club-house is very attractive, and is 
 said to|have cost in the neighborhood of $30,000. Owing to its 
 high elevation, the cottagers have fine views all around. 
 
 Schoharie Manor, a new and beautiful park two and one-half 
 miles south of Tannersville, is one of the most delightful of all 
 the parks in the Catskill region. 
 
 Located at the base of Spruce Top, a spur of Plateau Moun- 
 tain, at an altitude of 2,200 feet, it commands a picturesque view 
 of High Peak and Round Top to the right; Parker Mountain and 
 Black Dome Range in front; and the East Jewett Range to the 
 left. 
 
 Sunset Park, so named from the magnificent sunsets that can 
 be seen from its high elevation of 2,500 feet, is situated at the 
 head of the famous Kaaterskiil Clove, near Haines Falls. Its 
 location is unsurpassed, and it is one of the most popular of the 
 many parks in this part of the Catskills. 
 
 Santa Cruz Park is also situated near the head of the Kaaters- 
 kiil Clove, about one-half mile from Haines Falls. The park 
 is 2,100 feet above sea level, and being in a hemlock district 
 possesses a dry tonic air. The view is unsurpassed for its beauty 
 and extent. 
 
 The Ledgemoor Mountain Club preserve on the east slope of 
 South Mountain, near Otis Junction on the Catskill Mountain 
 Railway, is the latest addition to the parks. The Club has the 
 magificent Hudson Valley view stretching off" in the distance for 
 miles into four states. The features of the Club are the strict 
 entrance requirements and the modest yet attractive bungalows 
 and cottages. 
 
 All of these parks, and some other atti-active cottage settle- 
 ments, are reached most conveniently by the Otis road, in con- 
 nection with the new Catskill and Tannersville R. R.
