We Start for New York from Peekskill and Yonkers
The narrator travels from Putnam County to Peekskill then Yonkers and into New York City. He notes the calm rural river valley turning to urban growth, describes Palisades views, old and new streets, cemeteries, and housing blocks, and ends with a visit to the New York Botanical Conservatory to glimpse why people seek the city.
