The river’s importance continued for centuries afterward, linking the great trading center of Manhattan with remote places upstate and beyond. In Revolutionary times, the successful struggle for the Hudson was key to American victory over the power of the British military.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Hudson River railroad succeeded earlier modes of transportation in the Hudson Valley—the river sloop, the Albany Post Road, the steamboat, and the Erie Canal. The Hudson Line was both an early product of America’s industrial age and a catalyst for the intense and complex developments of that age.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe advent of photography coincided with the inauguration of the Hudson River railroad, and American photographers were on-hand to witness and record the progress of commerce and community in the villages, towns, and cities along the Hudson River Line.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!-- amazon-buylink --\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003csmall\u003eWe earn a commission for purchases made through the following links.\u003c\/small\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/1596525436\/ref=nosim?tag=tpcecomm-20\" rel=\"sponsored nofollow\"\u003eshop for this title at Amazon\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c!-- \/amazon-buylink --\u003e\u003c!-- bookshop-buylink --\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/bookshop.org\/book\/9781596525436\" rel=\"nofollow\"\u003eshop for this title at Bookshop.org\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c!-- \/bookshop-buylink --\u003e","brand":"Henry John Steiner","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43347413041368,"sku":"9781596525436","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0563\/7786\/8475\/files\/9781596525436_FChigh_mockup_v2_1664395397_6d8bbffa-a793-47b9-830b-f919fa5210d4.jpg?v=1791054507"}],"url":"https:\/\/turnerpublishing.com\/collections\/author-henry-john-steiner.oembed","provider":"Turner Publishing","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
