New York Beautiful

"NEW YORK BEAUTIFUL" by Wallace Nutting with its original dust jacket. 1936 1st edition; Garden City Publishing Co.; New York. The book is richly illustrated with black & white photographs throughout. From the dust jacket: "From the mighty thunder of majestic Niagara to the serene sweep of the stately Hudson, within the boundaries of the great State of New York lies an extraordinary variety of magnificent scenery. In the North the lofty Adirondacks reach rugged spires to the sky; in the South the Palisades hem with a volcanic wall the inner shore of America's Rhine. Centrally lie the ragged Finger Lakes, fed by the rushing torrents of the northern hills, and eastward spread the broad expanses of Lakes George and Champlain, great bodies of blue water that early voyagers mistook for undiscovered seas. The friendly Catskills, whose wooded fastnesses still breathe the fabled fold-lore of the early Dutch, release their gentle northward slopes to cattle and the plowing fields of man, and rolling hills become a checkerboard of farmland and the greatest dairy country in our land."
