Before it became the playground of corporate tycoons and celebrities the south shore of Long Island, some 100 miles from Manhattan, was the gathering spot for artists and writers. From Winslow Homer and Walt Whitman to Betty Friedan numerous talent mingled and was inspired by the sand and waves that stretch along the coast of the Hamptons and abutting communities. A wonderful historical chronicle of the people who inhabited this community and some of the events which took place there. No previous ownership marks. A clean, fresh, unmarked copy, like new. Fine in a fine dust-jacket.
