WEST POINT on Hudson River New York State

Description: INTERNATIONAL BUYERS:? The shipping rates shown are for '1st Class International Package' with tracking.? Ebay is also promoting their EIS International Shipping program on sellers pages. I do not use this program because it is more expensive, slower, not very transparent, and frustrating to the buyer, if something goes wrong. Do not select it, if ebay does show it as an option.

Here Washington disbanded the federal forces after the struggle for political independence had been brought to a successful issue. The eminence which commands the river south of Newburgh and Fishkill is crowned by the buildings of the West Point Military Academy, founded in 1802. All the officers of the Federal army receive their education at this establishment, which occupies one of the finest sites in America, amid surroundings calculated to leave a lasting impression on the minds of the young men adopting the military career in the service of their country. South of West Point the Hudson, escaping from the gorges of the highlands, expands into the spacious Tappan Sea, which is overlooked on the east side by the extensive buildings of the Sing Sing state prison. The central structure is a huge limestone block nearly 500 feet long and five stories high; here some of the convicts are employed in the mechanical arts. Beyond Sing Sing the river again contracts at the foot of the Palisades, where the crests and slopes of the hills are studded with villas. Opposite the Palisades is the city of Yonkers, which, although 15 miles from the Grand Central Depôt of New York, already threatens to be absorbed in the rapidly expanding Empire City.
