ReviewLast Proud Gallop is very well written. Characters are so developed they dont have to be identified in dialogue exchanges. Star Democrat, March 31, 2006THe Jazz Age is not merely a literary memory fastened to Fitzgeralds green light and Hemingways misguided expats. Although long gone, the hazy era reawakens in Sweeneys narrative and dynamic and dimensional characters with strong, timeless voices. DansPapers, Bridgehampton, NY, June 2,2006Last Proud Gallop contains some memorable scenes and exhibits Sweeneys creative way with words The Independent, East Hampton, NY, July 19,2006Product DescriptionA novel about how men and women love differently, notably a war hero and a true American courtesan. The Jazz Age is about to erupt. Six vibrant, wealthy young youths seek fulfillment in Long Islands polo society, Manhattan and old Southampton.From the AuthorI grew up on the North Shore of Long Island and was regaled with incredible stories about the fabulous Twenties and the high life during the Gold Coasts salad days. I considered writing a short history of Mayfair during that roaring decade but chose instead to use Fitzgeralds Great Gatsby as a model for expression.About the AuthorJerry Sweeney, a native of the Midwest, is a transplant Long Islander. A veteran and Michigan graduate, his business life was consumed by commuting to New Yorks madcap magazine world where he overworked in several capacities including publisher. Energized by JFK, he made a 7year detour into the political life of Huntington, NY and Washington,DCHis sporadic attempts to publish include pieces in LI, Newsdays Sunday supplement, Chattahoochee Review, East Hampton Star and the New York Times Op Ed Page.Jerry Sweeney grew up on the North Shore of Long Island and has been hooked on the mystique of the estate life of the rich during its salad days of the 1920s since the times he and his friends roamed through the deserted estates when they were young and impressionable.
