Yaz’ Hudson Valley
Ruins and Abandoned Buildings,
Etc.
BIBLIOGRAPHY
A partial listing of books that I referenced
while researching ruins along the Hudson River. Bear in mind that,
by and large, most of these books are not about ruins per se, but contain
information about one or more ruins I have photographed. In addition,
numerous town-specific books published by local historical societies exist and
are worth seeking out, including newer publications such as the popular Images
of America series (Arcadia Publishing).

Contemporary. ~ Sanchis, Frank E.: The North River Press, 1977.
