Billed as the most comprehensive book on the subject. "The great estates of the Hudson River Valley offer some of the finest examples of grand-scale 18th-, 19th-, and 20th-century American architecture and landscape design. The houses, built by the leading architects of the day, were country retreats for the Livingstons, Roosevelts, Rockefellers, and Vanderbilts, among other illustrious families. With glorious river views and grounds that sprawl over hundreds of acres, many of the estates are open to the public and draw hundreds of thousands of visitors annually as popular tourist attractions." (dj) Lavishly illustrated. Maps on flylfeaves are especially useful.
