The Poesten Kill (NY): Waterfalls to Waterworks in the Capital District

by John Warren (Author)
The Poesten Kill has sustained Rensselaer County communities for generations. Native Americans first gained sustenance from the stream's waters and hunted and gathered on its shores. Its wild places, large waterfalls and natural springs served as healthful inspiration to artists and adventurers.
