Historical Pageant

Hudson-Fulton Celebration, September 25 to October 9, 1909 (Classic Reprint)

Description:... Excerpt from Historical Pageant: Hudson-Fulton Celebration, September 25 to October 9, 1909

The American Period, so-called to distinguish it from the Indian, Dutch and English Periods, but more properly called the United States Period, of course began with the Declaration of Independenceon July 4, 1776. Prior to that date the colonies were fighting for their rights as colonies, not for national independence; after that date they were, by the terms of the Declaration, free and independent States. So much has been written to popularize the history of the States east and south of New York that comparatively few people realize how many important events took place in New York during the Revolu tion. As we are celebrating the history of the Hudson River it is interesting to recall that the possession of the Hudson was the great central object of contention between the British and the Americans, the British believing that if they could secure it they could cut the colonies in two, defeat them in detail, and establish a safe route of communication between their base of supplies in Canada and the base of war in New York. Fulton's great achievement, twenty-four years after the close of the Revolution, was the cardinal event of the Nineteenth century, with reference to this celebration.

In depicting, in the great Historical Parade, important scenes in these four periods, the hudson-fulton Celebration Commission has aimed not only to present a spectacle which will be memorable but also to give an impetus to historical research and to present historic scenes so that they will impress themselves more clearly on the minds of the spectators than could be done by books and pictures.

The work of building the floats for these moving tableaux has been going on in New York City for many months, and the work of construction has required the services of all kinds of artists and artisans. The artist most familiar with this kind of work was sum moued to design the pageant, and for about a year nearly two hundred workmen at a time have been engaged on the actual construction.
