Produktinformationen zu „The Gilded Age on Connecticut's Gold Coast (ePub)“
When the railroad came through in 1848, it transformed Connecticut’s
Gold Coast, luring wealthy upper-crust New Yorkers to retreat from the urban
crush. The cosmopolitan gentility built their magnificent mansions and suburban
paradises in Greenwich, Stamford and Darien. Ornate hotels along the water
welcomed American royalty, and resorts beckoned business tycoons for luxurious
country weekends. Much of the Gilded Age opulence remains today in areas like
Belle Haven, Wallacks Point, Shippan and Long Neck Point. Author Maggie Gordon leads
a roaring romp through this most pivotal time and the gilding of lower Fairfield
County. Discover the allure the virgin shorelines offered, the pilgrimage out
to Connecticut, the architecture and the famous and infamous
high-rollers—Rockefeller, Marion, Carnegie, Benedict, Tweed—who occupied the
lands.
