Description of Program: From the dinosaurs and the glaciers to the first native peoples and the first European settlers, from Dutch and English Colonial rule to American Revolution, from slave society to the Civil War, from the robber barons and bootleggers to the war heroes and the happy rise of craft beer pubs, the Hudson Valley has quite a story to tell. The Hudson Valley: The First 250 Million Years chronicles the Valley’s rich and fascinating history and charms. Often funny, sometimes personal, always entertaining, this discussion offers a unique look at the Hudson Valley’s most important and interesting people, places, and events.

David Levine is the author of "The Hudson Valley: The First 250 Million Years: A Mostly Chronological and Occasionally Personal History." The book stems from David's years working as a freelance columnist for The Hudson Valley Magazine. David is a freelance writer and editor, columnist, journalist, and author. Levine, a resident of Albany, will share his work highlighting entertaining stories from his book.
