Reviews for Life Along The Hudson: The Historic Country Estates of the Livingston Family

You might think that a book dedicated to the houses of one New York family would be rather slim, but when dealing with the vast genealogy of the Livingstons it means a 336-page deep dive into more than thirty-five estates. Estersohn, an architecture and interiors photographer, not only shot the character-rich spaces but poured through archival materials to compile histories for each of the properties. --Brownstoner
