New York & Long Island Traction Company Seyfried 1952
New York And Long Island Traction Company By Vincent Seyfried Copyright 1952 Soft Cover 82 Pages
PREFACE
It seems especially appropriate, somehow, that this little study of the New York & Long Island Traction Co. should appear on this 50th anniversary of the company's founding. In the quarter century that has passed since the Traction's demise, the system has been almost forgotten, and its history fallen into an obscurity altogether undeserved. The names and places once so familiar in Traction days have greatly altered over the years, and the men once intimately associated with the company have largely passed on. This little book is written in the hope of restoring to the Traction the prestige and respect it enjoyed fifty years ago, and to immortalize for future generations the successes and failures, hopes and accomplishments of Long Island's first great adventure in interurban transit.
In writing the Traction story the scantiness of official records has, once again, made the tank a difficult one; the story told hero represents a distillation of over 800 articles from five different newspapers, plus much valuable data supplied by eye-witnesses. In the preparation of this book many persons provided invaluable assistance. I an especially indebted to Miss Marjorie V. Brooke of the Hempstead Library, who went to great pains to make Available to me the complete file of the "Hempstead Sentinel", and without whose help this book could not have been written. I with Also to thank William Rugen, W. Nason Cooper, Grover White, W.P. Hamilton III, Edward Watsoo, and Harry do Beau. Felix E. Reifschnoidor of Orlando, Fla., has supplied a host of valuable details, and has once again attended to the proof-reading and publication of this manuscript.
