Book sheds light on Long Island’s estates
Long Island's North Shore Gold Coast, more than any other section of the country, has captured the imagination of America. This, in part, is attributable to F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby, which continues to fascinate the public in its portrayal of the life-style of the North Shore elite of the 1920s as perceived by Fitzgerald. In the two-volume work Long Island's Prominent North Shore Families: Their Estates and Their Country Homes, by Raymond E. and Judith A. Spinzia, over 1,500 estate owners are documented in a modified “Who’s Who” format of Long Island's prominent Gold Coast families.
