The Setaukets, Old Field, and Poquott is a rich collection of photographs, documents, and oral histories from the archives of the Three Village Historical Society and from generous residents. It reveals the bucolic old Setauket village center, with its farmers, craftsmen, and seamen who were the backbone of the community. This book portrays buildings that no longer exist and follows other structures, through the migration of the town center south and east, to their present location. It also shows aspects of village life in Old Field and Poquott, both established as residential communities in the early 20th century.

reviewed The Setaukets, Old Field, and Poquott, New York (Images of America Series) on August 22, 2015 The Setaukets, Old Field, and Poquott, New York (Images of America Series)
Morton's book does a great job of introducing an unfamiliar visitor to the cemetery. She introduces the important permanent residents with an appropriate amount of information, then focuses on the lovely and unusual statuary in the cemetery's permanent collection. She includes Cleveland-area history, illustrated with just the right number of vintage photographs. She discusses the varieties of nationalities-of-birth represented in Lake View.
My chief issue with this cemetery guide is the cover photo, which -- while hinting at the diversity of monuments within Lake View Cemetery -- gives no indication how beautiful the place is. Even in mid-November, with most of the leaves already drifted to the grass, Lake View is a gem of garden cemetery design.
I found this book in the shop at the Cleveland Clinic, which turns out to be just down the road from Lake View Cemetery. Morton's guidebook encouraged me to visit Lake View for myself. I am so glad I did. The restful beauty was exactly the respite I needed from my hospital vigil.
