Synopsis Long Island's Gold Coast Elite and the Great War by : Richard Welch
At the outbreak of World War I, the Gold Coast of Long Island was home to the most concentrated combination of financial, political and social clout in the country. Bankers, movie producers, society glitterati, government officials and an ex-president mobilized to arrange massive loans, send supplies and advocate for the Allied cause. The efforts undercut the Wilson administration's official policy of neutrality and set the country on a course to war with Germany. Members of the activist families--including Morgans, Davisons, Phippses, Martins, Hitchcocks, Stimsons and Roosevelts--served in key positions or fought at the front. Historian Richard F. Welch reveals how a potent combination of ethno-sociological solidarity, clear-eyed geopolitical calculation and financial self-interest inspired the North Shore elite to pressure the nation into war.

Synopsis Long Island and World War I by : Richard F. Welch
Nassau and Suffolk Counties answered the call to service during the First World War. As young men entered the armed forces, existing facilities such as Camp Mills and Hazelhurst Field were expanded, while Camp Upton, a massive training center, was created almost overnight. Long Islanders demonstrated enthusiastic support for the war through patriotic rallies, subscriptions to Liberty and Victory Loan drives and establishing recreation centers for troops called "soldiers' clubs." While Long Island factories turned out torpedoes, freighters and clothing, the Island's vibrant agricultural sector contributed significantly to the nation's food supplies. Author and historian Richard Welch explores the impact of the Great War on Long Island.

Synopsis History of Long Island by : Benjamin F. Thompson
Excerpt from History of Long Island: From Its Discovery and Settlement to the Present Time IN collecting materials for the History Of Long Island, the compiler has availed himself Of every source Of authentic information to render the work both use ful and interesting; with what success must be left to the consideration Of the reader. He has avoided no reasonable labor or expense to make his publication worthy Of approbation, although he has failed to satisfy himself in accomplishing all that he anticipated on first setting out. Beauty Of style and elegance Of description were not among the primary Objects of the compiler, his principal aim being to present a correct and full account Of Long Island, constituting a valuable repository Of historical and statistical information. Had he anticipated the labor and responsibility he was about to assume, with the obstacles to be encountered in his progress, he would most likely have abandoned the undertaking, even after a large mass of material had been accumulated.
