HUDSON RIVER
"On this river there is great traffick in the skins of beavers, otters, foxes, bears, minks, wild cats, and the like. The land is excellent and agreeable, full of noble forest trees and grape wines, and nothing is wanting but the labor and industry of man to render it one of the finest and most fruitful lands in that part of the world." -Johan de Laet, New World. 1625-
