West Point, NY as seen from the middle of the Hudson river. West Point was a fortified site during the Revolutionary War. Originally picked due to the abnormal S-curve in the Hudson at this
point. It was manned by a small garrison of Continental soldiers through the entirety of the war. A great iron chain
was laid across the Hudson at this point in order to impede British
Navy vessels, but it was never tested by the British.
