Amagansett is an intimate history of a coastal village whose
Dutch and English settlers arrived in 1860 to farm, fish, and
participate in "ye whale designe," and which is now a colorful part of
the Hamptons resort area.
T his striking collection of images, dating from 1853, describes
the community's part in the Revolutionary and Civil Wars, and its
very personal experience with the Spanish-American War, when
25,000 soldiers landed here to recuperate from tropical diseases.
The storied fishing and whaling industry, as well as life-saving crews
and the families that awaited them are also featured. Along with
economic and military history, civil life is represented in such scenes
as historic homes, and local citizens welcoming summer visitors.
