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.
