Heaven and Earth
Heaven and Earth
by Steve Wick
Pulitzer Prize Winner
This book unfolds the drama of the vanishing landscape
of the north fork and is a "must-read" for anyone who lives in and loves this paradise on earth.
"The North Fork of Long Island is a peninsula of rich topsoil that
sticks like a bony finger into the Atlantic Ocean, two hours east
of New York City. The land is flat and rich, fertile and almost free
of rocks, the way it isn't farther north along the New England coastline.
In the seventeenth century, led by their minister, the first Englishmen
arrived with the purpose of setting up a religious colony, a heaven on
earth, where God's rule would apply to religious as well as civic life.
It was to be their kingdom of god."
