A revealing tour of the opulent Newport Mansions where the Astors, Vanderbilts, and other Gilded Age families spent their summers. At the turn of the twentieth century, the wealthy families of New York would vacation at their summer homes in Newport, Rhode Island. Where the salty air once mingled with the laughter of society women in ball gowns, the houses of the Newport Cliff Walk still preside in grandeur over the crashing waves below. From the grand majesty of the Breakers to the beautiful proportions of Rosecliff, these houses are enduring reminders of the architectural flowering of the Gilded Age. Walking along the paved trail, it's easy to imagine the faintest hint of a waltz coming from the windows of Beechwood, or to envision the Duchess of Windsor’s carriage arriving for a visit at Fairholme. Ed Morris takes you on a tour of twenty-four historic mansions and landmarks, entertaining along the way with tales of splendor and style, social maneuvering and matchmaking.

Excerpt from A Guide to Newport: Rhode Island Newport, the Queen of Watering Places, the Social Capital of America, and one of the most beautiful spots on God's footstool, is also one of the oldest cities in this country, and one of the most interesting from an historical standpoint and from the number of its existing associations with the past. Newport is situated on the lower portion of the island of Rhode Island, called by the Indians, Aquidneck (The Isle of Peace). This island, about thirteen miles long and three wide, lying in Narragansett Bay, was the refuge to which, in 1637, a small band of Englishmen, headed by Dr. John Clark and William Coddington, fled from the colony of Massachusetts, in order to worship God according to their own belief. The island was bought from the Narragansett Indians, with the usual fairness of the white settlers, for a few garments and agricultural implements and two torkepes (whatever they may be); and the name changed to Rhode Island, perhaps a corrupt form of "red island," from the general reddish color of the rocks and soil, but more likely from a supposed similarity to the Isle of Rhodes, on account of the roses which grew (and still grow) in great beauty and abundance upon the shores. To Nicholas Easton must be given the credit for having had the far-sighted sagacity to select the site of Newport.
