Albany Echoes of History and the Hudson Valley Heritage
The writer recalls Albany's historical landscape from its Dutch roots to the present order. He praises Johnson's Indian diplomacy, reflects on the Schuyler family and colonial figures, and celebrates the Capitol staircase and McKim architecture as a luminous symbol of transformation. He contrasts savage pasts with modern peace and industrial abundance.
