and our Dutch Heritage Through the Municipal Seals of New York (Second Edition)
“Marvin Bubie’s interest in the history and iconography of county, city and town seals of New York State led him to create this wonderful volume. The artwork on these seals allows us a brief introduction to the political, economic and social structure of these communities largely bordering the Hudson River. As we celebrate the 400th Anniversary of Henry Hudson’ s discovery, we can be grateful to Mr. Bubie for compiling this information for future generations to learn from and enjoy.”
— Kathryn T. Sheehan, Rensselaer County Historian (2009)
