Hudson Valley History and Mystery

Learn about 20 attention-grabbing and real-life historically unique and mysterious sites in the Hudson Valley region of New York.

The Hudson Valley is rooted in the mysterious. In fact, author Washington Irving called it “the spellbound region.” But whether fact, superstition, or legend, the mystery of the region is detailed here through an amazing range of sites from enigmatic stone structures and ancient petroglyphs, to battlefields, haunted mountaintops, and popular waterfalls. 

Tales of ghosts and strange creatures, a hint of the supernatural, and attention-grabbing folklore and real-life experiences abound, including a fair share of lost treasure—from the infamous pirate Captain Kidd and outlaw Claudius Smith, to the more modern gangster Dutch Schultz. Each of the 20 chapters includes mystifying stories, beautiful and expansive photography, and a “Getting There” section that provides coordinates and detailed directions to the location. 

Ideal for historians, supernatural enthusiasts, hikers and explorers, and lovers of the Hudson Valley.
