Paperback. Condición: New. 96 pages. Burned by the British and rebuilt by a formidable grande dame in the midst of the Revolutionary War, the great house known as Clermont is full of stories: of daring escapes, of world-altering inventions, of untold wealth and of struggles during the Great Depression. âÂÂClermont?? brings to l…ife this important Hudson River estate and the Livingstons, a family intimately associated with the founding and development of the United States. Readers will soon learn the mystery behind the famous portrait of Andrew Jackson, stern over the mantel in the dining room. They will view the portrait of Chancellor Livingston, right down to his one blue eye and one brown eye. They will admire the famous balloon clock, one of only two in the world and finally they will see the portrait of Philip Livingston, signer of the Declaration of Independence and be familiar, as never before, with the history of one of America's most interesting families. Outside, they wall envision strolling down the luxuriant lawns leading to the river or wandering around the picturesque ruins of another Livingston house on a bluff, hiking the trails or just watching the festivities unfold in all seasons; whether it is a boat race or Fourth of July fireworks or a house glowing with holiday cheer on a snowy evening. Illustrated with more than too dazzling color photographs, âÂÂClermont?? offers an exacting, yet compact history, a guide to the rooms of the house and a timeline of noteworthy events in the history of ClermontâÂÂ" contrasted wath events in the rest of the world. Along the way readers will meet seven generations of the Livingston family, along with the chauffeurs, cooks, gardeners and governesses who made Clermont âÂÂthe showplace of the last century,?? in the words of A.J. Downing, AmericaâÂÂs first and most influential landscape designer.
