Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book commemorates the order by the Continental Congress to erect a chain across the Hudson River to deter British forces and prevent their advance northward, cutting off New England from the southern colonies. The author provides a historical context for the importance of the Huds…on River and traces the efforts to establish various defensive structures to obstruct enemy ships. The book highlights the ultimate success of the chain, which, once it was finally in place on April 30, 1778, remained intact through to the end of the war, preventing any British ships from passing up the river. The author also explores the history of the Sterling Iron Works, which played a vital role in the production of the massive 500-yard chain, and provides insights into the significance of ironworks like Sterling to the American cause. Through meticulous research and engaging prose, the author captures the significance of this engineering feat and the contributions of those who made it a reality, offering a valuable addition to our understanding of this critical period in American history.
