American Experience Season 12 Episode 1
The Country and the City, 1609-1825: New York, notes narrator David Ogden Stiers, “was a business proposition from the very start,” when Henry Hudson, exploring for the Dutch East India Company, sailed into its harbor. Part 1 also focuses on New Yorker Alexander Hamilton, the first Treasury Secretary; and Gov. DeWitt Clinton, who built the Erie Canal. “All America,” says Stiers, “now met in New York.”
