Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Evolution of Long Island a Story of Land and Sea The writer of the present pages is not a Long Islander. It is with some hesitation, therefore, that he presents a work of this nature to people whose lives have been spent in that beautiful region. The study grew out of a problem that arose in a seminary given by Dr. Isaiah Bowman, when Assistant Professor of Geography in Yale University. Professor Max Farrand suggested that the problem be worked into a doctors dissertation. Under the supervision of these two men the dissertation was brought to completion. Since the time of its submission to the faculty of the Yale Graduate School, the work has been completely revised. My thanks are due, not only to the two men who with great generosity of time and suggestion saw the study through its early stages, but to the authorities of the Yale University Library, the New York Public Library, and the Long Island Historical Society. Mr. H.V. Smith kindly allowed me to use notes that he had collected on Long Island history. Professors Charles M.Andrews and Allen Johnson have made many useful suggestions. Finally, I wish to acknowledge the invaluable help rendered by my wife, whose criticism, encouragement, and practical assistance in the completion of the manuscript and reading of proof have played a large part in making possible the publication of this volume.
