The Hudson Valley: The First 250 Million Years

David Levine ’80, Parent ’23, New York

From dinosaurs and glaciers to the first native peoples and the
first European settlers, from Dutch and English Colonial rule to
the American Revolution, from the slave society to the Civil
War, from the robber barons and bootleggers to the war
heroes and the happy rise of craft beer pubs, the Hudson

Valley has a deep history.

“The Hudson Valley: The First 250 Million Years” chronicles the
Valley's rich and fascinating history and charms. Often funny,
sometimes personal, always entertaining, this collection of
essays offers a unique look at the Hudson Valley's most
important and interesting people, places, and events.

Chronogram magazine said: "This is an ambitious and well-

realized work. [Levine's] clarity and sense of humor make this
book a treasure chest that belongs on all our bookshelves if
we wish to know what these hills and shores remember. It
would be hard to get closer unless they themselves could
talk."
