Keller's impressions encompass the scope of history, art, and literature, to tell the story of the majestic Hudson River and the life along its banks. The book provides a picture of life along the river at every step of the way, including facts and fables, legends and living realities.  It is the story of sloops and steamers, shad fishing and ice cutting, the splendor of the Palisades.

"Once you begin reading Life Along the Hudson by Allan Keller, you will not likely put it down until finished." -Tow Line
