Amagansett

This 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.

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. The storied fishing and whaling industry, as well as life-saving crew and the families that awaited them are also featured. Along with economic and military history, civil life is represented in such scene as historic homes, and local citizens welcoming summer visitors.
