Bill Moyers tells the story of the mighty Hudson River, whose 315-mile course travels from its source in the Adirondack Mountains to its outlet at New York harbor — and runs through so much of the nation’s history, literature and art. Moyers examines both the beauty that attracted the Hudson River school painters and the potential that lured America’s early industrialists.
