"For 300 years, Sag Harbor has been a prism reflecting facets of American history, from its heyday as a prominent whaling port worthy of mention in Moby-Dick, to a factory town shipping out Bulova watches, to its latest incarnation as an alternative coastal retreat to the exclusive Hamptons. Stephen Longmire explores the stories of this renowned eastern Long Island community in Keeping Time in Sag Harbor, a unique combination of fine-art photographs and historical text." "Architecture is a cornerstone of Sag Harbor's charm, because the village has preserved a full range of buildings, dating from the American Revolution to the present. These include the stately eighteenth- and nineteenth-century mansions lining what realtors have dubbed "Captains Row"; the modest homes of generations of working people from diverse backgrounds; the commercial facades of Main Street; and preserved public buildings such as the early Custom House and Minard Lafever's Whalers' Church." "The work to protect this architecture - and the economic and ecological balance it embodies - in the face of booming real estate development is at the heart of Longmire's account. Interviews with residents, both new and old, chart the evolving character of the village, exploring how it has struggled to retain its identity while learning to sustain itself on tourism. Anchoring this story are Longmire's own color photographs of Sag Harbor today and archival photographs and maps that reveal the many layers to the community's sense of place." "Keeping Time in Sag Harbor is an intimate portrait of a special place that is changing fast, despite almost all of the town being listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Through Longmire's images and words, we appreciate why Sag Harbor is both a unique American village and an example of what is happening to communities across the United States, from Santa Fe to South Beach." --Book Jacket.

Under the title LOOKING BACK in a series of columns over many years,Jim Marquardt has delved into the colorful history of Sag Harbor, from the colonists who came ashore at Conscience Point in 1645 to the intrepid whaling captains who ventured into unknown Arctic waters. Did you know that at one time whaling was the third largest industry in the United States? Or that a few Sag Harbor sailors jumped ship and became kings of South Seas islands? Or that Sag Harbor wives sometimes sailed with their husbands on threeand four-year voyages? Here are the stories of the Native Americans who lived here long before the colonists, the friendship of Chief Wyandanch and Lion Gardiner, the first Custom House established in our young country, the Black sailors who crewed the whale ships, saboteurs who landed in Amagansett in WW 11, mutinies, shipwrecks, steamboats, and people like John Steinbeck who wrote that Sag Harbor made him happy.This is a rich collection of more than 70 stories by a writer who has dug deeply to tell us why so many people visit, linger in, and love Sag Harbor.

From the author of the Man Booker longlisted The Underground Railroad Benji spends most of the year as one of the only black kids at an elite prep school in Manhattan, going to roller disco bar mitzvahs, desperately trying to find his place in the social hierarchy. Then he spends his summers in the African-American community of Sag Harbor on Long Island, and is just as confused. He's way behind on the latest handshakes, baffled by new slang, and his attempts to be cool and meet girls are constantly thwarted by his extremely awkward inner geek, braces and a badly cut Afro. It's the summer of 1985 and Benji is determined that this is the summer when things will change and he'll fit in. For starters, he'll be reinvented as 'Ben'. When that doesn't catch on, it's another summer of the perpetual mortification that is teenage existence.

Although the Montaukett were among the first tribes to establish relations with the English in the seventeenth century, until now very little has been written about the evolution of their interaction with the settlers. John A. Strong, a noted authority on the Indians of New York State's Long Island, has written a concise history that focuses on the issue of land tenure in the relations between the English and the Montaukett. This study covers the period from the earliest contacts to the New York Appellate Court decision in 1917—which declared the tribe to be extinct—to their current battle for the federal recognition necessary to reclaim portions of their land. Strong also looks at related issues such as cultural assimilation, political and social tensions, and patterns of economic dependency among the Montaukett.
