Excerpt from Old Greenwich This brook - called by the Dutch, Bestavaar's Kill, and by the English, Manetta Water marked the boundaries of the bouwerje. Al though no longer visible it flows in diminished volume in its old channel. Its east branch rises east of Fifth Avenue between Twentieth and Twenty-first Streets, whence it flows in nearly a straight line to the southwest corner of Union Square thence in a slightly curving line to the junction with the west branch (which rises east of Sixth Avenue between Fifteenth and Sixteenth Streets), near the middle of the block bounded by Eleventh and Twelfth Streets and Fifth and Sixth Avenues from this junction it flows to Fifth Avenue and Clinton Place; thence across Washing ton Square through Minetta Street to the North River, between Charleton and Houston Streets.

The lives of the distinguished citizens and memories of the Connecticut Gold Coast town are chronicled here. The historic community of Greenwich is nestled along Connecticut's famed Gold Coast. The shores and waves of Long Island Sound draw people to its unique seaside, which also maintains a peaceful "residents only" beach. As a coastal community the opportunities for businesses were plentiful, from the exporting of oysters to the Palmer Engine Company who supplied engines for every lifeboat during WWII. This pristine waterfront is home to historic Tod's Point and has a plethora of elite Yacht Clubs dotting the shoreline. Author Karen Jewell chronicles the lives of distinguished citizens and the memories of yesteryear in her latest coastal narrative detailing the Greenwich waterfront.
The story of our separate and unequal America in the making, and one man's fight against it During the long, hot summers of the late 1960s and 1970s, one man began a campaign to open some of America's most exclusive beaches to minorities and the urban poor. That man was anti-poverty activist and one‑time presidential candidate Ned Coll of Connecticut, a state that permitted public access to a mere seven miles of its 253‑mile shoreline. Nearly all of the state's coast was held privately, for the most part by white, wealthy residents. This book is the first to tell the story of the controversial protester who gathered a band of determined African American mothers and children and challenged the racist, exclusionary tactics of homeowners in a state synonymous with liberalism. Coll's legacy of remarkable successes--and failures--illuminates how our nation's fragile coasts have not only become more exclusive in subsequent decades but also have suffered greater environmental destruction and erosion as a result of that private ownership.
Exquisite color photographs illustrate the architectural heritage of America's best-known haven for bohemians, emphasizing how the early buildings and urban spaces continue to be adapted to contemporary uses and aesthetics without losing the sense of the original village.
