BIRD'S-EYE VIEW OF CAPITOL AND
ALBANY. Albany is practically the head of navigation
on the Hudson River, although steamboats of smaller ton-
nage than the giant river boats which tie up at Albany make
the run to Troy, N. Y., six miles above. The State Capitol
Building is a prominent feature in any view of the city,
looming from its size and its elevation far above all sur-
rounding objects. The city is a divisional point for com-
merce between the East and the West: also historically
noted as the earliest permanent settlement (barring James-
town, Virginia,) in the original thirteen Colonies.
