Croton Point Park: Westchester’s Jewel on the Hudson
Author: Scott Craven and Caroline Ranald Curvan
Publisher: Arcadia Publishing
ISBN: 1467152382
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 176
Book Description
Less than an hour by train from New York City... Croton Point Park encapsulates the history, beauty and promise of the Hudson Valley. The Westchester County Park encompasses miles of Hudson River shoreline with astonishing views and remnants of the region's past. Incredible shell mounds shed light on the Native peoples who inhabited the area generations prior to European colonization. The remains of the first commercial vineyards in the Northeast are just steps away from historic brickyards that helped build Manhattan. The Point served as a dumping ground for years until local efforts restored the park into a model of environmental conservation. Today, bald eagles have returned to nest alongside visitors exploring remarkable landmarks, sailing the waters of the Hudson or enjoying a scenic picnic. Authors Scott Craven and Caroline Ranald Curvan present Westchester's crown jewel, Croton Point Park.

George Washington's Secret Spy War
Author: John A. Nagy
Publisher: Macmillan + ORM
ISBN: 1250096820
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 234
Book Description
This “fast-paced chronicle reveals a little-known side of America’s Revolutionary War hero”—and how intelligence helped him defeat the British (Publishers Weekly). Here is the untold story of how George Washington used his skills as a spymaster to win the Revolutionary War. Author John A. Nagy has become the nation’s leading expert on the subject, discovering hundreds of spies who went behind enemy lines to gather intelligence during the American Revolution, many of whom are completely unknown to most historians. Drawing on Washington’s personal diaries, Nagy recounts how he honed his intelligence gathering skills during the French and Indian War. He later depended on those skills as he faced a well-trained, better-equipped fighting force in the Revolutionary War. Espionage was Washington’s secret weapon, and he exploited it to extraordinary effect. Filled with thrilling and never-before-told stories from the battlefield and behind enemy lines, this is the story of how Washington out-spied the British. For the first time, readers will discover how espionage played a major part in the American Revolution and why Washington was a master at orchestrating it.
