Summary:

"A portrait of the Hudson's shores, Up River focuses on man-made sites rarely seen by those who travel along the river's banks. Aerial photography brings to view the shore area's landmarks both plain and remarkable: factories, prisons, power plants, quarries, parks, current industries and planned redevelopments - in many cases overlooked places that can only be seen from above. Though one of the major places in the American imagination, the Hudson is often preconceived and misunderstood. Up River tells the story of how this river was used in the development of industry and modern America, from nineteenth-century waterfront exploitation to the beginnings of environmental activism that protected its famous vistas from quarriers, and shows what the Hudson is really like today."--BOOK JACKET.
