Glen Cove Revisited

About Glen Cove Revisited

"Images of America: Glen Cove gave the reader an overview of an extremely complex city history by focusing on the diverse geographic areas and multiethnic populace of the community from its founding as Musketa Cove in 1668 until its urban renewal in the 1970s. Glen Cove Revisted examines the community starting with its official naming in 1834 and explores how a rural mill town paradoxically became both a 19th-century industrial center and a resort enclave that sheltered the country estates of the financiers and industrialists who shaped America. In this second book, there is a greater focus on the individuals who created the community and the interrelationships between the immigrants who came to live and work here and the privileged class who employed them and became patrons of the city."--P. 7
