About Us
by JoSePH Vignone
The Hudson-Fulton Celebration and New York City was completed in the fall semester 2008 by students of Fordham University in New York City. The students were all undergraduate sophomores in the Honors Program of Fordham College at Lincoln Center (FCLC), class of 2011.
This digital project was assigned for the Trends in New York City class under the guidance of Dr. Roger Panetta, Visiting Professor of History. A presentation of the project was given at the Lincoln Center campus on December 3, 2008.
The Hudson-Fulton Celebration and New York City is the result of the concerted research effort of thirteen individual students. Both primary sources chronicling the Celebration as it unfolded and secondary studies of New York City in the early twentieth century were incorporated into the project. It is our hope that our topical treatment of Hudson-Fulton and New York has provided a greater understanding of the Celebration and the historical context within which it took place.
We have made this website publicly available so that others may benefit from the research we completed about The Hudson-Fulton Celebration. We hope that other students may find this information useful in their studies of the subject and for the general public to better appreciate the history behind one of New York’s greatest celebrations and the city that hosted it.
We have prepared a bibliography that details all the sources we consulted in the project. We have also placed endnotes or citations on some texts and have identified the sources of any copyrighted texts and photographs. If you believe we have missed a citation or made an error, please contact the webmaster.
