An autumn view of the sandstone buildings of America's premier military academy, seen as if from the windows of a train cruising along the east bank of the Hudson River. The view is from Garrison's Landing, a place that played a crucial role in the American Revolution as the spot where Benedict Arnold, escaping from West Point to provide traitorous information to the British, landed his ferry. Hazell was a prominent landscape painter and illustrator. Zega 90.
