Oysterponds; located on Long Island at the eastern end of the North Fork; was inhabited by colonists soon after the settlement of the town of Southold in 1640. The people of the area have a proud heritage divided between the land and the sea. During the first quarter of the 19th century; the hamlet divided into two communities: East Marion and Orient. Little has changed since the Civil War; as the two communities are still composed of graceful homes and shady streets. Popular with tourists during the late 19th century; the area continues to draw artists and photographers; as well as sailing enthusiasts and fishermen; with its rural charm and miles of shoreline. Although many of the commercial enterprises that once made up the business area are long gone; the buildings remain; transformed into elegant houses that give no hint of their commercial pasts. Vintage photographs from the collection of the Oysterponds Historical Society open a window into the past and allow a brief glimpse into the history of the area.

Looks like a self-publishing job as no real publisher would let this kind of poor printing out their door. Will be returning it.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Classical ReadingBy Denize D. JordanI mean who doesnt know Pinocchio? Having studied Italian for 4 years; I wanted something to read in Italian to practice my skills. This book is like a trophy and a true treasure. To see the words in its original state is pretty exciting.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
