"I felt as if I had taken an exhilarating trip down the Hudson River through the eyes of those who experienced the event. Pleasant adventures, humorous anecdotes, and authentic history are mingled in one delightful volume." - Dr. Norma Bishop, Reading Specialist, Bolivar, Missouri "To those who have experienced the thrill of a river voyage or who have dreamt about it, this book shares a heartbeat with those who love to read abut the milieu of an era: social, cultural and historic. The Paddle-Wheelers are gone, but we wish they were still with us, navigating the Hudson River, as Millie has described. A fun, sentimental read " - L. Jaye Hill, author of Steel Clouds "Thanks so very much for letting me read your First Hudson River Book-so enjoyable and informative.

I shall keep it with my favorite books." - Virginia Clark, Nyack, New York. |
