I truly enjoyed this piece, especially the mention of the Hudson River warriors as that is the river I was born not too far from. I was born in Hudson NY, home to the legend of Sleepy Hollow and other legends of time. My family had a farm in Ghent which was right outside of Hudson along the great Hudson River. My mother use to find Indian arrowheads on our farm.
