101 Glimpses of Long Island's North Shore

This small book features 101 historical images of Long Island's North Shore, documenting the people, places, historic structures and recreational pursuits of the area over the last 150 years. Panchyk is a local historian and author, and he has collected these photographs to represent most of the communities within Nassau and Suffolk counties, ranging from an image of Teddy Roosevelt and his family posing at their home in Oyster Bay to one of the first flying boats landing in Manhasset bay in 1917. A foreword is offered from Thomas R. Suozzi, a Nassau County executive who has spent most of his life on the North Shore. Annotation c2009 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
