The Quality of the "wild Lands" of Long Island (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781024016413)

"The Quality of the 'wild Lands' of Long Island" by Thomas Schnebly offers a detailed examination of the undeveloped lands of Long Island in the mid-19th century. This volume provides a compelling look at the perceived value and potential of these lands, exploring why they remained unimproved despite their inherent worth. Schnebly presents a comparative analysis, contrasting the potential productivity of the 'wild lands' with that of already developed areas, offering insights into the economic and environmental factors influencing land use at the time.

This work provides valuable historical context for understanding the development of Long Island and the evolving attitudes towards land conservation and resource management. It will appeal to historians, environmentalists, and anyone interested in the regional history of New York.
