Lossing, Benson John. The Hudson, from the Wilderness to the Sea. New York: Virtue & Yorston, 1866. Internet Archive identifier: hudsonfromwilder00lossi. Illustrated travel-history of the Hudson River valley by the writer and artist Benson J. Lossing, whose chapter on Teller's / Croton Point is a primary source for Senasqua place-name etymology, Sarah Teller's 1682 purchase, and the Underhill vineyard. Passage 596 of 596 204 words

We have looked upon almost every prominent object of Nature and Art along the borders of the Hudson, and have communed • profitably, I hope, with History and Tradition on the way. We have seen every phase of material progress, from Nature in her wildest forms, to Civilisation in its highest development. Our journey is finished-- our observations have ceased-and here, with the yielding sand beneath our feet, a cloudless sky bending over us, and the heaving ocean before us--

'Tlie sea! the sea! llie open sea! The Wne, the fresh, (he ever free !

we will say Farewell
