"Taking Long Island as a unit of space which has for lung ages been on the border line between land and sea, Professor Gabriel shows clearly how human development in the region has been controlled very largely by the same cosmic circumstances responsible for the type of vegetation and native animal life." -Technical Book Review Index, Volumes 6-7 [1922] * * * * * From the Foreword. The problem of the present study is to trace the development of a people as it has been affected, not only by its social and economic, but by its natural surroundings. Long Island is a definite entity, with boundaries fixed and easily determined. On every side the sea washes its shores. It is not, however, an oceanic island, isolated in the midst of one of the broad seas. It is a fragment of the North American continent, and its life is inextricably intermingled with that of the greater land body. Lying off the Atlantic coast of the United States it is, in reality, a part of that eastern coast zone which stretches back from the water's edge to the ridges of the Appalachians. Like every such coastal region, it is a transition zone between the two dominant forms of the earth's surface, the land and the sea. Long Island, however, is not a typical coastal area with the sea on one side and the hinterland on the other. In this region the influence of both of these factors is greatly intensified. The ocean, literally surrounding the Island and asserting its mastery in a multitude of coves, bays, and harbors, would seem to be in a fair position to dominate the life of the region. But Long Island is set down in an unusual position. Three gateways open into the broad interior of America, the Mississippi, the St. Lawrence, and the Hudson-Mohawk valleys. The first is far from Europe and the second is icebound during parts of the year. It is the Hudson, the central gateway, therefore, that, working through a system of lakes, canals, and railways, taps the limitless resources of the heart of the North American continent. It is this hinterland, acting through the metropolis which it has created at the entrance to the greatest of the three gateways, that contends with the encircling sea for the mastery of Long Island. These are the giant gamesters that play at moving hither and thither the kings, queens, castles, and pawns in the great game that is still unfinished. The story of this game is the problem of these pages....

Excerpt from The Evolution of Long Island a Story of Land and Sea The writer of the present pages is not a Long Islander. It is with some hesitation, therefore, that he presents a work of this nature to people whose lives have been spent in that beautiful region. The study grew out of a prob lem that arose in a seminary given by Dr. Isaiah Bowman, when Assistant Professor of Geography in Yale Univer sity. Professor Max Farrand suggested that the problem be worked into a doctor's dissertation. Under the super vision of these two men the dissertation was brought to completion. Since the time of its submission to the fac ulty of the Yale Graduate School, the work has been com pletely revised. My thanks are due, not only to the two men who with great generosity of time and suggestion saw the study through its early stages, but to the authori ties of the Yale University Library, the New York Public Library, and the Long Island Historical Society. Mr. H. V. Smith kindly allowed me to use notes that he had collected on Long Island history. Professors Charles VI. Andrews and Allen Johnson have made many useful suggestions. Finally, I wish to acknowledge the invalu able help rendered by my wife, whose criticism, encour agement, and practical assistance in the completion of the manuscript and reading of proof have played a large part in making possible the publication of this volume.
