Book Synopsis 101 Glimpses of the North Fork and Islands by : Rosemary McKinley
Book excerpt: The North Forks natural riches have been seducing people for more than four hundred years. The Algonquin Indiansand, later, Dutch and English colonistsfirst recognized the area for its waters rich with clams and fish, its fertile soil for growing crops and its abundant forests to support shipbuilding. Hearing the oceans call, many have long admired the inlets, creeks and bays and contrast the ruggedness of the Long Island Sound with the tranquility of Peconic Bay. In this pictorial history, local author Rosemary McKinley showcases the nautical history, idyllic seaside settings and lush landscapes of this picturesque country.
