The D&H Canal Historical Society will be inaugurating a series of presentations in its Mid-Hudson Regional Visitor Center entitled "Makers of History". It will feature people working and living in our area whose work is of national, and even international importance. The Society believes that the region is rapidly developing into an important center of scholarship and excellence and that it should play a role in showcasing leaders in many fields who are our neighbors.
Our first lecture will feature Malia Du Mont, an expert in the Chinese military and its territorial ambitions, which is the focus of her talk.
