Elsie Knapp Corwin and her husband, the former publisher of The Suffolk Times for forty-seven years, Frederick Langton Corwin, wrote this fascinating history of Greenport in 1972. Using the resources of the historical paper, the author team compiled a chronology of historical accounts that show the day to day life of a Long Island village as it transitoned from a whaling and shipbuilding center to an iconic coastal community. Discover how Greenport was affected by the great moments of American history and how the beloved community responded in small ways to the big changes that time inflicts on all. This revised edition preserves the original text and illustrations in a newly accessible and artful paperback for generations to cherish.
