Long Island is My Nation
- The Decorative Arts and Craftsmen 1640 - 1830
Dean F. Failey

Long Island is one of the most populated places on earth, and one of the earliest settled areas of the United States, yet little has been written about the early manufactured goods of Long Island. This is the second edition of a book first published in 1976. Much new information has been added since the first edition, and this remains the definitive book on Long Island furniture. Many pieces of Long Island furniture have apparently been misidentified because of the poor dissemination of information on Long Island furniture. With this book, you will be able to recognize the distinctive styles of the Long Island school of cabinetmaker's. Also a very useful book for the cabinetmaker looking for interesting examples to reproduce.
