Excerpt from Rand McNally Co; 'S: Illustrated Guide to the Hudson River and Catskill Mountains The Hudson River gathers its waters from the central heights of the Adirondacks, and these unite into a stream which at Fort Edward, 180 miles from its mouth, becomes well defined. The river is narrow, tortuous, and rock-obstructed, however, as far as Troy, thirty miles below and 150 from New York, where it reaches the level ground at the foot of the mountains, and begins the stately career of usefulness and beauty which has given it a world-wide renown.
