Review
6 of 6 people found the following review helpful. Loved this bookBy Jane OharaI loved every page and every sidebar of this book. Its stunningly researched and engagingly written. The authors willingness to track down every detail with an open mind about the answers to the mysteries of her house and land is truly remarkable. Her account of the conflict between Westchester Countys Loyalists and Patriots during the Revolutionary War was my favorite part; but I also loved the story of how a once rural farming area was transformed into one of the U.Ss preeminent suburban communities. Its the story that can apply to many neighborhoods in the Eastern U.S. And of course the mystery of the "monkey rock" is truly fascinating!As Brackbill notes; "everyone lives somewhere;" and researching the history of the place you live is available to everyone. For anyone curious about who lived in your home before you did; or what took place on the piece of land where you live; An Uncommon Cape offers really helpful and inspiring advice. Right after finishing the book; I found myself talking to a neighbor who has lived in my century-old apartment building much longer than I have; and picking up some bits of information that I can now pursue. I think my own journey of discovery has begun!
