This Hudson River Guide of 1835 is among the earliest of Disturnell's guidebook publications. The engraved frontispiece shows the Battery & Castle Garden at the southern tip of Manhattan. The detailed colored folding map is also dated 1835 (with 1834 copyright). In addition to the present 1835 first edition, OCLC records a 1839 version, and other later editions were likely issued.FDR's Hudson Valley AssociationFranklin D. Roosevelt s ownership of this 1835 Hudson River guide represents an especially resonant association, uniting his antiquarian interests with the landscape at the center of his personal identity. Born at Springwood in Hyde Park, Roosevelt grew up overlooking, sailing, and ice-boating on the river, while his Delano ancestry connected him to the region s maritime and mercantile traditions. The Hudson Valley remained his lifelong refuge and the setting for his conservation work, presidential library, and final resting place. As a collector of Hudson River history, naval art, ship models, and maritime manuscripts, he would have valued the guide both as a rare historical artifact and as a record of the river and surrounding country closest to his heart.

Roosevelt formally designated a ground-floor room for that purpose and used it as his personal library. The White House Library did not fully come into its own, however, until Jacqueline Kennedy s restoration of the White House, when a formally curated collection of books was installed. After refurbishing the space, she enlisted James T. Babb, the Yale University Librarian, to lead a committee in preparing an authoritative list of works in American history, literature, and philosophy. Babb described it as a library that "is intended to contain books which best represent the history and culture of the United States, works most essential for an understanding of our national experience" - The White House Library: A Short-Title List (1967), p. 5. The resulting collection, installed in 1963 and eventually numbering more than 2,700 volumes, transformed the room into the representative library of American letters and thought that it remains today.It should be noted that Franklin Roosevelt was .…
