A History of Westbury, Long Island

A History of Westbury, Long Island

History Press Library Editions
2007

The Long Island community of Westbury was once a small town farming neighborhood . While Brooklyn and other boroughs mushroomed into urban giants, the population of peaceful Westbury hovered at less than one thousand. Then the Wall Street tycoons arrived and everything changed. In this new book, author Richard Panchyk narrates the dramatic transformation of this once-agricultural hamlet, founded in 1670 by Quakers. Little more than a country town until the first two decades of the twentieth century, Westbury changed overnight as Manhattan s financial titans embarked on a frenzied pace of building and development mansions, resorts, even a racetrack and an airport catapulting the community into modern times. Westbury was the site of one of the country s first auto races, the 1904 Vanderbilt Cup. Its train stop witnessed the nation s first ever train-car collision. And in 1927, Charles Lindbergh bedded down in Westbury before taking off on his flight into history. Let Panchyk whisk you through the region s occasionally contentious, frequently dramatic, and always entertaining growth and development in A History of Westbury, Long Island."

Escape '56

Escape '56

Richard Panchyk

SEVEN STORIES PRESS,U.S.
2023
nidottu
A dramatic historical novel of escape during occupation and wartime and of starting life over in a new country. Escape '56 is a novel based on the life of young Elizabeth Moln r (the author's mother) and her family as they lived through the harrowing days of the Hungarian Revolution. The book recounts the story of the inspiring student-led uprising and the shocking Soviet invasion that followed, leading to Elizabeth's perilous nighttime escape from Hungary through the border woods in November, 1956. Weaving historical fact with the accounts of his relatives' dramatic experiences, Panchyk's cinematic, fictional narrative feels both personal and universal. When the Hungarian Revolution failed, more than 200,0000 Hungarians (two percent of the population) fled the country, fearing for their lives and an even more oppressive regime than they'd already endured. Elizabeth's adventure continues, first as a refugee in Austria, and then in the United States where she and her family start a new life with little money, few possessions, and almost no understanding of English. Escape '56 is a gripping novel, filled with historical detail and incorporating recollections from the author's mother, aunt, and grandmother.
