A 2nd Edition of the history of Long Island, New York, it begins with the geological formation and updates to the present day. Illustrated with photographs, paintings, drawings, documents and maps.
Published in 1983. Found this book in excellent condition in a used book store in Asheville, NC. My original interest was in the photography. Now, the story and the history have gotten my attention. Update: 7-2011 Ended up reading the entire book. Sometimes, I'm tempted to just scan through but this was an engaging read. More detailed review later.
