Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Hudson River Route: New York to West Point, Catskill Mountains, Albany, Saratoga, Lake George, Lake Champlain, Adirondack Mountains, Mountain Mansfield, Green Mountains, Montreal and Quebec
The remote sources of the Hudson are among the highest peaks of the Adirondack Mountams, feet above tide-water. Its numerous upper branches unite in the neighborhood of Fort Edward, 180 miles from the ocean, and thence follow a southerly course, broken by numerous falls and rapids, to Troy, where it meets tide-water. The remaining 150 miles are navigable by large steamers and coasting craft. Ships can ascend to Hudson. The principal tributaries are the Mohawk and Hoosick rivers, the former rising in the central part of New York, and the latter in Southern Vermont, both joining the Hudson near Troy, below which City the tributaries, though numerous, are small, none of thembeing navigable for more than two miles.
