Book Reviews of Historic Houses of the Hudson River Valley
Book Review: excellent gift
Summary: 5 Stars
Historic Houses of the Hudson River Valley was a gift for my daughter-in-law, who was born and raised in the Loire Valley in France and is now living in Poughkeepsie. She loves the book and uses it as a guide for taking her many French visitors to this famous American history land. While we've given her many gifts, this is one that she refers to and thanks us for regularly.
