The 1938 hurricane; the most severe and terrifying storm to hit Long Island in living memory; struck on September 21; a day that had dawned bright and fair in the seaside communities between Westhampton Beach and Montauk Point. Unaware of the storm whipping itself into a frenzy just miles away; village residents were going about their normal tasks when it struck; killing more than 30 and wreaking unprecedented destruction before nightfall. In Hurricane in the Hamptons; 1938; the story is told in more than 150 photographs; most of them taken by stunned residents in the immediate aftermath of the storm.

8 of 8 people found the following review helpful. very interesting for t hose interested in BostonBy audrey francesThis book has 128 pages. with almost every page covered by two black white photographs with a short caption. Chapters are: The Early South End. Places of Worship. Schools. Hospitals. Temples of Fun. Transportation. The 20th Century. The Library. and Business Industry.The picture captions are interesting and credit their source. The book may have benefited from more text. but it is chock full of great photoographs that bring this interesting neighborhod to life. Volumes on the Back Bay and the North End are interesting also.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful.
