From its top, Anthony's Nose, a mountain located along the Hudson River in New York State, offers a -180 degree, panoramic, awe-inspiring view of the Hudson Valley.

Many historical and cultural events took place near Anthony's Nose. This book provides a bird's-eye view of 40 of these that had an impact on the area, the country and, in some cases, the world. Each has a story behind it, grounded in the historical (primary source) documents used here to tell.
