Amagansett The Un-Hampton
from Phantom Hampton Podcast Hosted by Phantom Hampton
Oral history narratives woven together to describe the town of Amagansett in the Hamptons. The locals refer to it as the Un-Hampton because of its sustained rural quality. These recordings are from mostly women who remember what life in the village was like when their parents and grandparents arrived on the East End of Long Island. Most of these people are of Italian descent so they chronicle a part of Italian history on Long island. Residents discuss the great hurricane of 1938, the building of the railroad, traditional Italian and Sicilian cooking, World War II, the German U-boat landing at the Amagansett lifesaving station.
