Hudson River Valley Review Spring 2013 Issue

June 24, 2013 by Editorial Staff 1 Comment

HRVR29pt2_cover_onlineThe diverse articles in the latest issue of The Hudson River Valley Review illustrate the pervasive and lasting influence of the Hudson River Valley in shaping America’s destiny.

The cover article, “‘The Point'” The United States Military Academy at West Point” is on a pivotal era at the United States Military Academy at West Point, and was adapted from our 2013 Cunneen-Hackett Lecture in Hudson River Valley History.

The Review continues our commemoration of the Civil War sesquicentennial with “‘Musket Balls Was Thicker Then any Hail….,’” which traces the heroic actions at Gettysburg of Green County soldiers in the 120th New York Regiment. [Read more…] about Hudson River Valley Review Spring 2013 Issue

Photo Research and Editing: The John Brown Photos

December 24, 2012 by Chris Pryslopski 1 Comment

It was long past the eleventh hour of my publication timetable and I still needed to get one last image to illustrate the article “‘No Mortal Eye Can Penetrate’: Louis Ransom’s Commemoration of John Brown” which would be appearing in our Autumn issue. I turned to the Library of Congress’s website, found and saved the file along with the metadata in order to be able to cite it correctly, and sent the last of the material to our designer.

Six short weeks later, the Autumn 2012 issue of The Hudson River Valley Review was out to great acclaim, and just a few even shorter days after that I received my first correction. It was about that image, and it was from Jean Libby, who had been cited in the article as the curator and author of the John Brown Photo Chronology. It was clear that I had gotten something wrong.

Chris Pryslopski: Hudson River Valley Review Favorites

February 1, 2012 by Chris Pryslopski Leave a Comment

In my last post I discussed the variety of topics and writers represented in the The Hudson River Valley Review, but the issue I am most proud of is Autumn 2010 [pdf], dedicated to exploring our region’s role and legacy of Landscape Architecture.

Included in the issue is an introduction to Andrew Jackson Downing (arguably its most influential figure in of regional and national import), an exploration of the creation of the Mohonk Mountain House and its network of carriage roads, the original call for the creation of an Appalachian Trail, Thomas Cole’s creation of his estate Cedar Grove, and a photo essay presenting Bannerman’s Castle.
