101 Glimpses of the North Fork and Islands

by Rosemary McKinley

Overview

The North Fork�s natural riches have been seducing people for more than four hundred years. The Algonquin Indians�and, later, Dutch and English colonists�first 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 ocean�s 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.
