The Poughkeepsie Journal presents the sequel to "Mid-Hudson Memories: A Photographic Retrospective," which looks at the early years, from 1880 through 1939.

"Mid-Hudson Memories II: The Early Years" again honors the mid-Hudson Valley history. The book spans a notable era, from innovations that spawned evolution to local residents who went on to greater things, including Hyde Park's Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt. Without a doubt, the Hudson Valley's rich tapestry of history is a treasure.
