Summary "Clermont State Historic Park, Germantown, New York" by Anonymous is a historical account likely written in the mid-20th century. This book provides an exploration of Clermont, the historic estate of the Livingston family, detailing its significance in American history and the development of New York State. The narrative emphasizes the estate's architectural evolution and its owners' roles in early American politics and society. The book recounts the legacy of Robert Livingston and his descendants, who were pivotal figures during the colonial period and the American Revolution. It highlights Robert Livingston’s establishment of the Manor of Livingston and the development of the Clermont mansion, which has survived various events, including destruction by fire during the Revolutionary War. The text details the contributions of Chancellor Robert R. Livingston, particularly his involvement in drafting the Declaration of Independence and the invention of the steamship in partnership with Robert Fulton. Through a chronological account, the book illustrates how the Clermont estate reflects the broader historical narrative of American progress and the Livingston family's enduring influence.
