content: Landscape sketch showing a view of West Point and the Hudson River from the estate of railroad tycoon William H. Osborn, called Castle Rock, in Garrison, New York. In the foreground, the river is shown beyond a nearby wooded shoreline and curves around the jutting peninusla upon which West Point is situated. Various buildings of the military academy are shown at left. Beyond, the cliffs of Target Point and Storm King Mountain steeply descend into the river at left. Sailboats travel along the river as it extends into the background, where an undulating mountain range forms a distant horizon.
