[audiobook] 101 Glimpses of Nags Head by Sarah Downing in Arts-Photography

Description

Much of the history of New Yorks scenic Mohawk Valley has been recounted time and again. But so many other stories have remained buried; almost lost from memory. The man called the baseball oracle correctly predicted the outcome of twenty-one major-league games. Mrs. Bennett; a friend of Governor Thomas Dewey; owned the Tower restaurant and lived in the unique Cranesville building. An Amsterdam sailor cheated death onboard a stricken submarine. Not only people but once-loved places are also all but forgotten; like the twentieth-century Mohawk Indian encampment and Camp Agaming in the Adirondacks; where Kirk Douglas was a counselor. Local historian Bob Cudmore delves deep into the regions history to find its most fascinating pieces of hidden history.
