Summary:

"The most elite and inaccessible social club in America, a group whose members included Rockefellers, Pulitzers, Vanderbilts, Goulds, and Morgans ... Focuses on the social club's members and the 'cottages' they built near the clubhouse between 1888 and 1928 ... Tells the story of each home, the owners' connections with the island, and the residents' interactions with one another."--Jacket.
