Murray Bay: The Gilded Age Resort of Tafts, Sedgwicks, Blakes, Minturns, and Their Friends

"Murray Bay" tugs at the Edith Wharton mystique, scattering a plethora of statesmen, millionaires, authors, artists, and 'the most beautiful women in the world'. Judy's magnificent research unearths Murray Bay not only for vibrant history but for the eccentricities of the rich and famous. -Vance Trimble, author, Pulitzer Prize winner.
