From the Inside Flap:
Against the odds, the Hudson Valley has cleaned up its act and rediscovered its soul. In this well researched and passionate treatise on the much celebrated but long abused Hudson River, author Roger Stone describes how protecting New York City’s drinking water supply, making innovative
efforts to safeguard views and open space, and reconnecting communities with long abandoned stretches of priceless shoreline have combined to bring about a new age of spirited restoration in a region that long seemed condemned to cultural and environmental mediocrity. Stone links disparate historical, cultural, political, and environmental threads to clearly show the multiple forces that have made this turnaround happen, a vivid example of new ideas and values for a nation struggling to counter devastating economic and environmental effects of misusing the landscape. The extraordinary revival of the majestic Hudson River estuary and its surrounding areas, even in communities where hope was long in short supply, shows remarkable results when it’s done right.

“The historic Hudson River Valley is unquestionably one of America’s most storied places, but over the years it had been much abused. Now, as Roger Stone tells us in The Mightier Hudson,, communities up and down the river are creatively using its natural and cultural resources to build a new economy designed to sustain both those resources and the livelihoods of the people who live there. . . . It is an important and uplifting story that should be read, and applied, by those living in communities along waterways everywhere.”
