Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Ferry Road on Long Island
Fulton Street and its ferry landing play the most important part in the history of Brooklyn. Two centuries passed by be fore Brooklyn became a city, and during that period, while there were settlements in other parts of the town, Brooklyn as a compact community, was confined to this small portion be tween the ferry and Red Hook Lane. Fulton Street and its ferry landing existed, however, in a primitive form, to be sure, -for centuries before the first white man set foot upon Long Island soil. Tracing the history of this island road is a highly interesting study, for its beginning is Fulton Ferry and its end is Montauk Point.
