Perhaps you think that East Hampton was put on the map by potato field-chateaux-building-yuppies
from New York. Well, in the tabloids, perhaps. But the real face of East
Hampton is fortunately more substantial, in fact, it's as much the cradle
of American civilization as Virginia. We may not have a Monticello, but
we do have our Common Whipper, our Lord of the Manor, a felonious Christmas,
a witch, possibly Captain Kidd's treasure, the very first American woman
on the scene of the Gold Rush and the first cattle ranch in the United States.
