Book Reviews of Hurricane in the Hamptons, 1938 (NY) (Images of America)
Book Review: Southampton Under Sandunes
Summary: 5 Stars
Let it be mentioned first of all that as the son of the author the following review may be interpreted as biased. With that in mind, I must say that the book is incredible. I grew up in Southampton and have resided here most of my life so I have gotten accustomed to the impeccable estate surroundings and charms of the idyllic village. To see the extent of utter devastation caused by the Hurricane of '38 was a surprise. The photos of the wreckage are remarkable as is the author's intimate knowledge of the history of Southampton. The combination makes the book a must for anyone with an interest in this wonderful town; or perhaps with an interest in seeing what it would look like destroyed. Please support my dear mother's work and I promise you will enjoy it.
Summary of Hurricane in the Hamptons, 1938 (NY) (Images of America)
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.United States Books
