My name is Tom Montalbano and I am the author of "Syosset: Images of America" from the Arcadia Publishing series. The book is essentially a history of Syosset from the 1650s to the 1950s.
If you're still looking for Syosset info, feel free to contact me directly at
tommontalbano@optonline.net .
You might also want to steal, borrow, or browse a copy of the book at a store or library near you.
Also look for a SECOND book in the Arcadia series called "Syosset: People & Places" by John Delin, webmaster of Syosset Scrapbook, which another member mentioned. It should be out in August of 2008.
