Summary "The New York and Albany Post Road" by C. G. Hine is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This work offers readers detailed descriptions and reflections on a walking journey along a historically significant route, documenting the landscapes, settlements, and rich history of the Hudson Valley from King's Bridge to Albany. The narrative suggests an exploration not only of the physical path itself but also of the stories and legends entwined in its past. At the start of the text, the author sets a picturesque tone by highlighting the natural beauty and historical significance of the Hudson Valley, describing the changing seasons and their impacts on the scenery. Hine discusses various landmarks, historical figures, and events tied to the Post Road, intertwining anecdotes from both the colonial and revolutionary periods, such as the Revolutionary War's significant occurrences near different towns along the route. The narrative invites readers to appreciate both the developing landscape and the rich tapestry of history that shaped the journey, preparing them for further explorations of each subsequent area along the Post Road.
