The North Fork's natural riches have been seducing people for more
than four hundred years. The Algonquin Indians -and, later, Dutch
and English colonists- first recognized the area for its waters
rich with clams and fish, its fertile soil for growing crops and
its abundant forests to support shipbuilding. Hearing the ocean's
call, many have long admired the inlets, creeks and bays and
contrast the ruggedness of the Long Island Sound with the
tranquility of Peconic Bay. In this pictorial history, local author
Rosemary McKinley showcases the nautical history, idyllic seaside
settings and lush landscapes of this picturesque country.
Long Island author, Rosemary McKinley has written a young adult
historical novella, The Wampum Exchange, set in 1650, Southold, New
York. A twelve-year-old boy has a chance meeting with a Native
American boy and their worlds connect in a most interesting way.
The tale is told through their daily lives, giving the reader a
glimpse into life in America. Middle grade readers, as well as
adults would enjoy reading this story.
