Slavery and Freedom in the Mid-Hudson Valley

Slavery and Freedom in the Mid-Hudson Valley

Michael E. Groth

State University of New York Press
2017
sidottu
Explores the long-neglected rural dimensions of northern slavery and emancipation in New York's Mid-Hudson Valley.Slavery and Freedom in the Mid-Hudson Valley focuses on the largely forgotten history of slavery in New York and the African American freedom struggle in the central Hudson Valley prior to the Civil War. Slaves were central actors in the drama that unfolded in the region during the Revolution, and they waged a long and bitter battle for freedom during the decades that followed. Slavery in the countryside was more oppressive than slavery in urban environments, and the agonizingly slow pace of abolition, constraints of rural poverty, and persistent racial hostility in the rural communities also presented formidable challenges to free black life in the central Hudson Valley.Michael E. Groth explores how Dutchess County's black residents overcame such obstacles to establish independent community institutions, engage in political activism, and fashion a vibrant racial consciousness in antebellum New York. By drawing attention to the African American experience in the rural Mid-Hudson Valley, this book provides new perspectives on slavery and emancipation in New York, black community formation, and the nature of black identity in the Early Republic.

The Manors and Historic Homes of the Hudson Valley

The Manors and Historic Homes of the Hudson Valley

A classic guide to the history and architecture of the historic manors and homes of the Hudson River ValleyHarold Donaldson Eberlein's The Manors and Historic Homes of the Hudson Valley has been considered an essential and elegant resource ever since its first publication by J.B. Lippincott in 1924. Profusely illustrated with drawings, classic prints, and photographs (many of the latter taken by the author himself), the book not only discusses the architecture and beauty of more than thirty-five historically relevant estates and homesteads, but also contextualizes their varied histories amid key social and political disruptions, ranging from the rise of the Dutch through to the American Revolution and the heyday of the patroonships overseen by such families as the Livingstons, the Van Rensselaers, and the Van Cortlandts. Eberlein saw the old manors and historic homes of the Hudson Valley as vital signposts to that history of the region- a history "inseparably bound up with the old houses that stand upon both banks of the river, and [a history which] without them … would lose its dramatic force and become a dull, dead abstraction." This new edition features an introduction by historian Ed Renehan who sets the work in the context of its time, and many new photographs. This book is an indispensable resources for those interested in New York state history and the stories behind some of its best-loved homes.

From John Cabot to Henry Hudson

From John Cabot to Henry Hudson

James F Hancock

The history of how North Atlantic America was revealed to the Europeans in the 16th and early 17th centuries is largely forgotten. This book seeks to remedy that, describing the English, French and Dutch expeditions to North America before the Pilgrims arrived at Plymouth Rock. Drawing extensively on firsthand accounts of explorers, this history spans the precolonial period from John Cabot's discovery of Newfoundland in 1497 to the founding of Jamestown in 1607. The French and English expeditions into the North Atlantic searching for cod, gold, and a route to China came first, followed by Jaques Cartier's and other French fur trading activities in the St. Lawrence River Valley, and then a series of French and English expeditions along the New England coast in pursuit of cod and furs. The pre-colonial period would end after Henry Hudson's exploits in New York Harbor and Hudson Bay. Central to the story of European discovery was their contacts with the dense populations of Indigenous people and the effect their presence had on tribal cultures. What generally began as friendly interactions almost always turned ugly as the Europeans pushed for land, and their diseases raced through the native people. This exhaustively researched book presents many such events from an understudied period of European exploration.

Survival Communications in New York: Mid-Hudson and Westchester Regions

Survival Communications in New York: Mid-Hudson and Westchester Regions

Perhaps you have prepared for WTSHTF or TEOTWAWKI with respect to food, water, self-defense and shelter. But what about communication? Whenever there is a disaster (hurricane, earthquake, economic collapse, nuclear war, EMF, solar eruption, etc.), the normal means of communication that we're all reliant upon (cell phone, land line phone, the Internet, etc.) will probably be, at best, sporadic and at worst, non-existent. As this author sees it, short of smoke signals and mirrors, there are three options for communication in "trying times": (1) GMRS or FRS radios; (2) CB radios; and (3) ham or amateur radio. In this book he considers each of these options to come up with the most acceptable one. Included in this volume are the names and addresses of the approximately 6,400 FCC licensed amateur operators in New York: Mid-Hudson and Westchester Regions, organized by city, then sorted by street, then sorted by house number ... just in case.

American Legends: The Life of Rock Hudson

*Includes pictures. *Includes Hudson's own quotes about his life and career. *Includes a bibliography for further reading. "I'm notorious for giving a bad interview. I'm an actor and I can't help but feel I'm boring when I'm on as myself." - Rock Hudson A lot of ink has been spilled covering the lives of history's most influential figures, but how much of the forest is lost for the trees? In Charles River Editors' American Legends series, readers can get caught up to speed on the lives of America's most important men and women in the time it takes to finish a commute, while learning interesting facts long forgotten or never known. In the middle of the 20th century, there was perhaps no leading man as famous and popular as Rock Hudson, who would star in both comedies and dramas on the way to being named one of the Top 10 Stars of the Year for eight years straight (1957-1964). Whether he was starring in a comedy with Doris Day or in a drama opposite Elizabeth Taylor, the tall, impeccably dressed actor couldn't help but make girls in the audience swoon, and he was recognized as one of Hollywood's biggest heartthrobs. The success of his peak years ensured that Hudson would remain a star over the course of 4 decades, and he appeared in about 70 films during his career. Today, however, Rock Hudson might be better known among contemporary audiences for his personal life. Acting in a more conservative era, Hudson struggled to keep his homosexuality out of the news for fear it would destroy his career, even though many of his Hollywood contemporaries were aware of it. After Hudson died of AIDS in 1985, perhaps the first major celebrity to die of the disease, details of his personal life began to be publicized, sometimes amidst messy legal battles. It soon became clear just what kind of pains Hudson took to keep his personal life private, and his friendships with men were highly scrutinized, as was his marriage to his agent's secretary, Phyllis Gates. At the same time, his death shined a bigger spotlight on AIDS and helped raise both awareness and funding for research into battling the disease. American Legends: The Life of Rock Hudson examines the life and career of one of Hollywood's biggest stars. Along with pictures of important people, places, and events, you will learn about Rock Hudson like never before, in no time at all.
