Plate 1. "Long Island forks at its eastern end, and may be said to have two extremities" (10).These extremities, which Cooper described in detail in Chapter I, are illustrated here by a portion of the Johnson and Ward Family Atlas map of 1864, "Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Rhode Island." The locations noted here and mentioned by Cooper, from left to right, are Riverhead, Southold, Shelter Island, Sagg (Sag) Harbor, Oyster Pond Point (the Pratts' home at which Roswell Gardiner's voyage starts and ends), Gardiner's Bay, Gardiner's Island, and Block (Blok) Island.The map also shows "a railroad terminates within a short distance of the deacon's old residence, bringing with it the clatter, ambition, and rivalry of such a mode of travelling" (387).
