Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bordered on the south by the Atlantic Ocean and on the north by Long Island Sound, the Peconic Bay region, including the North and South Forks, has only recently been recognized for its environmental and economic significance. The story of the waterway and its contiguous land masses is one of farmers and fishermen, sailing vessels and submarines, wealthy elite residents, and award winning vineyards. Peconic Bay examines the past 400 years of the region’s history, tracing the growth of the fishing industry, the rise of tourism, and the impact of a military presence in the wake of September 11. Weigold introduces readers to the people of Peconic Bay’s colorful history—from Albert Einstein and Captain Kidd, to Clara Barton and Kofi Annan—as well as to the residents who have struggled, and continue to struggle, over the well-being of their community and their estuarine connection to the planet. Throughout, Weigold brings to life the region’s rich sense of place and shines a light on its unique role in our nation’s history.

Download or read book Keeping Time in Sag Harbor written by Joyce Egginton and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "For 300 years, Sag Harbor has been a prism reflecting facets of American history, from its heyday as a prominent whaling port worthy of mention in Moby-Dick, to a factory town shipping out Bulova watches, to its latest incarnation as an alternative coastal retreat to the exclusive Hamptons. Stephen Longmire explores the stories of this renowned eastern Long Island community in Keeping Time in Sag Harbor, a unique combination of fine-art photographs and historical text." "Architecture is a cornerstone of Sag Harbor's charm, because the village has preserved a full range of buildings, dating from the American Revolution to the present. These include the stately eighteenth- and nineteenth-century mansions lining what realtors have dubbed "Captains Row"; the modest homes of generations of working people from diverse backgrounds; the commercial facades of Main Street; and preserved public buildings such as the early Custom House and Minard Lafever's Whalers' Church." "The work to protect this architecture - and the economic and ecological balance it embodies - in the face of booming real estate development is at the heart of Longmire's account. Interviews with residents, both new and old, chart the evolving character of the village, exploring how it has struggled to retain its identity while learning to sustain itself on tourism. Anchoring this story are Longmire's own color photographs of Sag Harbor today and archival photographs and maps that reveal the many layers to the community's sense of place." "Keeping Time in Sag Harbor is an intimate portrait of a special place that is changing fast, despite almost all of the town being listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Through Longmire's images and words, we appreciate why Sag Harbor is both a unique American village and an example of what is happening to communities across the United States, from Santa Fe to South Beach." --Book Jacket.
