With these books an effort has been made to present the history of the whole of Long Island in such a way as to combine all the salient facts of the long and interesting story in a manner that might be acceptable to the general reader and at the same time include much of that purely antiquarian lore which is to many the most delightful feature of local history. Long Island has played a most important part in the history of the State of New York and, through New York, in the annals of the Nation. It was one of the first places in the Colonies to give formal utterance to the doctrine that taxation without representation is unjust and should not be borne by men claiming to be free—the doctrine that gradually went deep into the hearts and consciences of men and led to discussion, opposition and war; to the declaration of independence, the achievement of liberty and the founding of a new nation. It took an active part in all that glorious movement, the most significant movement in modern history, and though handicapped by the merciless occupation of the British troops after the disaster of August, 1776, it continued to do what it could to help along the cause to which so many of its citizens had devoted their fortunes, their lives. This is volume three out of three, covering the history of Nassau County, Hempstead, Oyster Bay, Suffolk County, Huntington and many towns more.

Excerpt from A History of Long Island From Its Earliest Settlement to the Present Time, Vol. 3 Mr. Van Anden was never married. For many years his home in Columbia street, Brook lyn. Was also the abode of his mother and widowed sister. He passed his leisure hours in his well stocked library, and in pleasant intercourse with his former business and social associates. He was courteous toward all, and those deserving of his bounty were generously relieved. His death oc curred August 4, 1875, at the residence of his brother at Poughkeepsie, New York. Alexander E. Orr, for many years prominent in financial and political affairs, is a native of Ire land, of Scotch - Irish parentage. He was educated with a view to his entering upon judicial or mili tary service in the East India Company, but this purpose was defeated through an accident which he met. He visited the United States in 1850, and came back the following year to remain perman ently, taking up his residence in Brooklyn. He was employed successively by Ralph Post, Wallace Wickes, and David Dows Company, of New York City, and in after years he became a member of the latter named firm. He became actively con nected with the New York Produce Exchange in 1859, and was prominent in its reorganization in 1871-2, and in procuring the erection of the pres ent building. At the present time he is the presi dent of the Rapid Transit Commission, and an officer of a great number of railway, banking and insurance corporations.

Although no battles were fought on Long Island, the Civil War deeply affected all of its residents. More than three thousand men--white and black--from current-day Queens, Nassau and Suffolk Counties answered the call to preserve the Union. While Confederate ships lurked within eight miles of Montauk Point, camps in Mineola and Willets Point trained regiments. Local women raised thousands of dollars for Union hospitals, and Long Island companies manufactured uniforms, drums and medicines for the army. At the same time, a little-remembered draft riot occurred in Jamaica in 1863. Local authors Harrison Hunt and Bill Bleyer explore this fascinating story, from the 1860 presidential campaign that polarized the region to the wartime experiences of Long Islanders on the battlefield and at home.

Women have been part of Long Island's past for thousands of years but are nearly invisible in the records and history books. From pioneering doctors to dazzling aviatrixes, author Natalie A. Naylor brings these larger-than-life but little-known heroines out of the lost pages of island history. Anna Symmes Harrison, Julia Gardiner Tyler, Edith Kermit Roosevelt and Eleanor Roosevelt all served as first lady of the United States, and all had Long Island roots. Beloved children's author Frances Hodgson Burnett wrote The Secret Garden here, and hundreds of local suffragists fought for their right to vote in the early twentieth century. Discover these and other stories of the remarkable women of Long Island.
