Author Timothy Dwight was a peripatetic Connecticut
clergyman whose earlier travel accounts had been published
and widely read. His Northern Traveller provided
information for tourists and covered a wide territory including
"the routes to Niagara, Quebec, and the Springs, with
the Tour of New England and the route to the coal mines
of Pennsylvania." Only sections relating to the Hudson
River and its region are included here.

The Hudson River Rail Road was opened on the east shore
of the river in 1850, increasing the scope of travel literature.
Steam travel was reaching its peak when this book, a good
example of the type of guide provided commercially to tourists,
was published. With "descriptions and illustrations
of its sublime scenery and places of interest," this
guide was heavily promoted and carried a number of advertisements.
