Author Philip in her copiously illustrated (130 photographs, drawings, and maps) book untangles the tale of Rhinecliff/Kipsbergen's long history from early Native Americans and the 1686 land deal that paved the way for settlement, to colonial Kingston burning on the horizon and British warships anchored off its docks, through the heydays of steam navigation on the Hudson and the coming of the railroads, the slow collapse of the great estates and the 20th-century decline of riverfront communities all along the Hudson, right up to the 21st-century rebirth of the Hudson River towns and the land-use battles that rage as fiercely today as any other conflict in the long history of the Hudson Valley.
