Amagansett is an intimate history of a coastal village whose Dutch and English settlers arrived in 1860 to farm, fish, and participate in "ye whale designe," and which is now a colorful part of the Hamptons resort area. T his striking collection of images, dating from 1853, describes the community's part in the Revolutionary and Civil Wars, and its very personal experience with the Spanish-American War, when 25,000 soldiers landed here to recuperate from tropical diseases. The storied fishing and whaling industry, as well as life-saving crews and the families that awaited them are also featured. Along with economic and military history, civil life is represented in such scenes as historic homes, and local citizens welcoming summer visitors.

Bill Hobby

A Life in Journalism and Public Service

By: Don Carleton,Erin L. Purdy

A comprehensive biography of a legendary lieutenant governor. During his five terms as lieutenant governor of Texas, Bill Hobby became one of the most powerful political figures in the state’s history. He was first elected lieutenant governor of Texas in 1972 and served until 1990. Thanks to his brilliance as a political tactician and his personal integrity, Hobby was able to set the Senate’s agenda and garner respect from legislators on both sides of the aisle. In Bill Hobby: A Life in Journalism and Public Service, Don Carleton and Erin Purdy document Hobby’s significant contributions to Texas as a journalist, politician, and philanthropist. Born into a prominent Texas family with a rich legacy of public service, he was the son of Houston newspaper publisher and former Texas governor William P. Hobby Sr., and Oveta Culp Hobby, who led the Women’s Army Corps during World War II and served in Eisenhower’s cabinet. After more than a decade as a journalist for the Houston Post, Hobby forged his own political path while also playing a prominent role in his family’s newspaper and television business. Hobby was never shy about using his power to serve the people of Texas. Even after he left office, he continued to make a difference as a strong advocate for public education, including a term as chancellor of the University of Houston.
