The tiny seaside village of Osterville was settled in the 1700s by hardy Colonists determined to make a living harvesting oysters. The village is home to the Crosby Yacht Yard; which has been turning out superior craft since the 1840s. Pres. John F. Kennedy often sailed his Crosby Wianno Senior on Nantucket Sound when he vacationed at his Cape Cod home. Osterville follows this town�s evolution; from a haven for captains of great merchant ships to a summer playground for such storied families as the Mellons and DuPonts. Today; Osterville�s superb beaches and laid-back lifestyle attract not only the rich and famous but also year-round residents who enjoy a relaxed and sophisticated lifestyle.

From the early settlers to the digging of the canal and lots of old time pictures that really make the book a real hard book to put down. As a tourist down here it really explains lot of interesting things about the towns all around the lake.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Around Lake OkeechobeeBy Patrick J.
