“During the winter of 1900 as a new century dawned, a majestic brick hotel was rising on the Hempstead Plains that was a harbinger of the new era Nassau County was entering.”
Smits tells of the dramatic history of Nassau County with such characters as Theodore Roosevelt and Robert Moses, while providing a scholarly work that serves as a reference for those interested in suburban America.
