Thank you very much to an insight into this artist. I wonderful display of her own emotions to surroundings in paint.

I lived in kingston ny my entire life..awesome to see this documentary..

Excellent version! Well done!

Good story that people probably know anymore.

Around about 2008 I was a professional photographer. I was asked by a NYS travel agent to photograph Bannerman’s Island on the east coast of the Hudson River. The owner during the civil war had vacationed in Europe and had admired the castles of Europe and after returning had built a castle. Sometime later, the castle was used to manufacture explosives. One day, the castle blew up, leaving much of the north side intact. When i arrived to look for good angles for my camera, an assistant told me she had found scattered bricks with raised lettering on them. My memory is fair but I think I found it to read Haverstraw. I failed to photograph one and forgot about it. Well, months later my map showed Haverstraw to be on the west coast of the river across from Bannerman’s Island. (One more thing; I wrote the above using my 83 year old brain. So I could have been off with details)

Great story!😮

Just now came across this video and it brought back memories of my early childhood. Born in a Beacon, NY brick apartment (midwife and all), my father delivered milk to the Brockway Brick Yard, slightly north of the city limits. I would accompany him on Saturdays and remember the African-American children that would gather around the milk truck to purchase chocolate milk.

Great video. Thanks for the pleasure of watching it

Thank you for this.

Excellent video - Thanks!

One of the best versions I have seen!! Thank you!!

Stolen land.dont deny it.maggots feasting upon the rotting corpse of Native America.maggots!😮😅😂

This was an excellent version!! Congratulations to the wole cast. This was better than some of the other version. I wonder where it was filmed at?

I've been looking for this film for years. Saw it way back and remembered it fondly. I have a thing for bricks! And for the Hudson! Thanks for posting, from a Brooklyn gal. whose elementary school was a red brick masterpiece.

I grew up in Rockland County in Suffern… my family settled the Valley after Henry Hudson ran aground and was stuck in the mud. Seneca Princess Catoneras married my Original ancestor Janus Van Texel.

My ancestors lived in Verplanck Point, NY and worked in the brick yards there. I can't thank you enough for this film! What a wealth of information! Having watched this, I understand so much more about my ancestors' lives.

THE LEGEND OF SLEEPY HOLLOW I LOVE THIS STORY , its narrated in the real version of the headless horseman not like the silly and absurd tim burton version !

Terrific! Thank you for posting. A biography that needs to be told today more than ever.

Love Washington Irving's works "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" and his biography on Christopher Columbus.

My favorite Washington Irving’s story I’m getting interesting the town of Sleepy Hollow.

this was well done

Since Hollywood is running out of ideas, I think a movie on the life of Washington Irving would be welcomed

Great Photography. Enjoyable

Classic comment of no regard to any book. Oh how I wish I had 20 more years to take each book of others and rewrite them all. Classic! What a rich life for sure. Thanks you tube for the upload.

Please subtitles for the deaf people.

I remember this person that wrote The Legend of Sleepy Hollow.

Kicking off the City’s Juneteenth celebration weekend 2022- Yonkers Mayor Mike Spano along with sculptor Vinnie Bagwell, local artists, and community leaders will officially unveil The Enslaved Africans’ Rain Garden (EARG), along the Yonkers waterfront at 20 Water Grant Street, on June 17th at 11:00 AM. The urban-heritage sculpture garden honors the legacy of enslaved Africans who resided and worked at Philipse Manor Hall in Yonkers. The garden’s opening will feature the presentation of five life-size bronze sculptures of enslaved Africans who were freed decades before the Emancipation Proclamation. Please come!

yes for me it was tales of the alhambra beautiful illustrations ❤

Hudson River history is so evocative. Irving reminded of its early Dutch heritage which is the true DNA of the New York area and NY City.

I thoroughly enjoyed watching this informative video on Washington Irving. In the tradition of living the literary life, I live in a Dutch colonial house along the Hudson, not too far away from where Herman Melville, author of the infamous Moby Dick, lived during his childhood and attended school, which is now the Lansingburgh Public Library. Irving is an extremely influential writer that still remains quite live and active in modern day.

Thanks for making this available!

Enjoyed this very much! Brian Jones did a great biography of Irving. Amazing how much travel & adventure Irving had in his life.

Great documentary. I've been fascinated by Irving since childhood, after first becoming acquainted with him through "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow". Long intrigued by the drowsy glen, Tarrytown and its surroundings, etc. Still hope to visit someday, especially Sunnyside itself. I'm especially interested nowadays in Irving's time as American ambassador to Spain and the inspiration the enchanting land provided for his "Tales of the Alhambra", which I've never read but plan to shortly, as well as stories of the western plains, mountain men, Native Americans, etc. I've read portions of his biographies of Columbus and Washington but am desirous of returning to them again. I had no idea, until watching the documentary, that Irving wrote a biography of Muhammad. I'd be most interested in reading that, also. Thank you once again for this magnificent documentary, which provides more detailed information about Washington Irving than I've ever seen. The imagery that accompanies it is most imaginative, too!

Very Funny Tib Bit, Patrica Gordon was the lady that saved us from the Hudson River... My Aunt had many different boats during the tinme I was growing up, one time My Aunt Rev Arlene Dawber, loaded up us kids on her knewly aquiered speed boat, we proceeded out to the Hudson River on the Roundout Creek harbor... Well we had a good time sailing up the hudson towards Saugerties NY. when the boat stalled out and we left a drift in the Hudson's currents.. Mrs Patrica Gordon happened to be out on her boat, we flagged her down and she was able to toe us back to shore... What A Lovely Lady... Thank Yoiu For Saving us from the dangerous currents and towing us home.... This had to be back in the early 1990's but I will never forget our savior that day...

This is absolutely wonderful. I love seeing passionate people preserving history and culture, giving modern generations exposure to the sounds of yesterday. Thanks do Dan Milner and colleagues, as well as Jim Ormand and The Local History Channel.

Thankhs Much!!!!!!!!!. Thankh You My Ancestors!!!!!!

These bricks have cost me a prop or two lol

I live on the Goldricks property in the Goldricks home where they once made Goldricks bricks!

We are deeply grateful for the "vessel", Vinnie....

Very enlightening! Excited to see your vision a reality. Thank you for interpreting the lost stories of our warriors and sheroes.

Thank you Jim Ormand for your show of support for the Enslaved Africans' Rain Garden project and your vision and care in the making of this wonderful documentary. Xo
