Excerpt from Proceedings of the Senate and Assembly of the State of New York: On the Life and Services of Gen. William T. Sherman, Held at Harmanus Bleecker Hall, Albany, March 29, 1892 The Legislature having met in joint session in Harmanus Bleecker Hall, in the city of Albany, in pursuance of arrangements made by the Joint Memorial Committee, Gen. Martin T. McMahon, Chairman of the Joint Committee, called the meeting to order after an overture by the orchestra. The proceedings were opened with prayer by the Rt. Rev. Francis McNeirney, Bishop of Albany, as follows: Almighty and Eternal God, we humbly place ourselves in Thy divine presence, acknowledging Thy power and might and majesty, confessing our own weakness and our entire dependence upon Thee. To Thee do we owe all things - creation, existence and continued preservation, and there is naught that we possess that doth not come from Thee. As individuals Ave have been singularly blessed by Thee. As a people, we have been the special object of Thy affection.

Surrounded by natural beauty and a rich human legacy second to none, Albany lies in the Hudson Valley about 150 miles north of New York City. First settled in 1648, the area quickly grew into one of the most important trade, transportation, and military regions in North America. Albany became the permanent state capital in 1797 and has long been a major political center, key to New York's growth and prosperity. Some of the nation's leading statesmen, scientists, and presidents have called Albany home: Martin Van Buren, Joseph Henry, Hamilton Fish, William McKinley, Theodore Roosevelt, and Franklin Roosevelt, to name a few. Albany is a photographic essay of the city's 19th- and early-20th-century history; it focuses on the architectural treasures downtown and moves on to transportation, institutions, and disasters. Albany is also more than that: it is a field guide, challenging the reader to see the changes that have occurred over time and, at quiet hours, to hear the clamor of horse and wagon and streetcar navigating State Street and the blaring horns of steamboats plying the Hudson River.
Experience the architecture and colorful history of the Historic Theaters of New York's Capital District as author John A. Miller charts the entertaining history. For generations, residents of New York's Capital District have flocked to the region's numerous theaters. The history behind the venues is often more compelling than the shows presented in them. John Wilkes Booth brushed with death on stage while he and Abraham Lincoln were visiting Albany. The first exhibition of broadcast television was shown at Proctor's Theater in Schenectady, although the invention ironically contributed to the downfall of theaters across the nation. A fired manager of the Green Street Theatre seized control of the theater with a group of armed men, but Albany police stormed the building and the former manager regained control.
