lynbrook roller hockey – The History
Lynbrook is less than twenty miles from Manhattan, yet it still retains some of its small-town spirit from long ago. It has progressed from a remote settlement of forty farmhouses and a church in 1785 to a busy retail center and home to 20,000 people today. Much has changed in those 220 years. Look, for example, at this eyewitness description of Lynbrook in the early 1900s:
“Lynbrook was then a village of . . . chiefly workingmen, shopkeepers, farmers and “baymen” – men who owned or worked oyster beds in the tidal creeks and salt marshes. The south shore of Long Island was a landscape of unselfconscious beauty. Everything was small – little farms, little orchards, little unplanned villages, little white houses master-built in exquisite, functional proportions. Birch and swamp-maple woods followed the course of little streams that slid silently over glinting sand.”
—- Whittaker Chambers, Witness
A motto of the Historical Society of East Rockaway & Lynbrook is “Si quareris historiam, circumspice” (If you are looking for history, look around you.) Come along as we “look around” at Lynbrook’s wonderful history, from the geologic record of the Paleozoic Era to the photographs, postcards, letters, maps, family histories, legal documents and newspapers left to us by past generations.
Some highlights:
Three policemen and a fireman killed in the line of duty in four consecutive years, 1929, 1930, 1931, 1932 . . . and forgotten.
Bravery, cowardice, horror and the mass grave of 139 shipwreck victims in 1836 and 1837.
The ignored, essential role of women as social activists, businesswomen, mothers, care providers, teachers and librarians.
Geology, maps, woodlands, Indian trails, streams, farms, nurseries, and the historical tie to the sea.
Forgotten places — “Tiger Town” with its “horsemovers,” “Parson’s Corners,” “The Little Pit,” “The Italian Settlement” and the “Gypsy Camp.”
Native Americans, and the colonists who prayed the “Hand of God” would kill them off; Tories and Revolutionaries; the “establishment” and immigrants.
Stories of a bygone era — “The Rockaway Church Wars,” “September Love,” “Attempted Murder on Union Avenue” and “The Wives and Seventeen Children of George Mott.”
The dark side of Lynbrook – KKK cross burnings, and buckshot fired in anger; “the second largest gambling ‘Hell’ in the United States”; the Chief of Police during Prohibition sent to the Westchester Penitentiary; murder, suicide, starvation, bread lines, and work camps in the Great Depression.
War stories from the “Battle of the Swamp” in the Revolutionary War, to a Civil War hero, to the breakthrough by the Lynbrook boys at the Hindenburg Line in World War One.
Amazing characters doing amazing things — the “Cadoo Caper,” Long Island’s most daring criminal ever; Whittaker Chambers: spy, rat and hero; Henri Charpentier: world-class chef with a flaming dessert, and an even hotter temper; and Shorty the Cop: poetry in motion at the Five Corners.
