from
Brown Corpus
On the east side of the island of Manhattan the indifferent hawk knew the East River that connected New York Bay with Long Island Sound.
On the western tip of Long Island protruded Brooklyn Heights.
It commanded a view over Manhattan and the harbor.
A fringe of housing and gardens bearded the top of the heights, and behind it were sandy roads leading past farms and hayfields.
Husbandry was bounded by snake-rail fences, and there were grazing cattle.
On the shores north and south, the fishers and mooncursers -- smugglers -- lived along the churning Great South Bay and the narrow barrier of sand, Fire Island.
