Book excerpt: Excerpt from The West Bank of the Hudson River, Albany to Tappan: Notes on Its History and Legends, Its Ghost Stories and Romances, Gathered by a Wayfaring Man Who May Now and Then Have Erred Therein Walking from Albany to New York may sound like something of an undertaking, but the fact is I started late in May and only arrived as far as Nyack by early November. Took two bites to my cherry, one in the Spring when the bite only went as deep as Catskill, the other in the Fall, when all the woods were brown. I am not a walker, as those of my friends who really walk view the situation, a stroller rather, who, as the gifted William puts it, "fleets the time carelessly." These same friends look on my little jaunts with a scornful eye, and there is no doubt that one mans pleasure may be another mans weariness, for it makes them tired to dawdle with me, and it makes me very tired to hustle with them. However, I can stop at any time to note the color scheme provided by meadowland or mountain, and frequently feel called on to do so. Can even stoop so low as to gather a wild flower now and then, while my friend, Mr. Fastfoot, is disappearing down the road in a cloud of dust.
