Although Peconic Bay, which includes Long Island's North and South Forks, has only recently come to the attention of the general public for its economic and environmental importance, it has rich historical relationships with farmers, fishermen, and vineyards. Weigold covers 400 years of the region's history. Chapters follow a simple format with topics like At Home, At Work, and At War, but cover everything from the rise of tourism to the impact of September 11th. In addition to a thorough coverage of the residents of the town, historical figures like Albert Einstein and Clara Barton also make an appearance in the town's history.
