Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Located in Oak Bluffs, Massachusetts on the island of Martha's Vineyard, Wesleyan Grove occupies a storied place in the history of the camp meeting movement. Shortly after the Civil War, Wesleyan Grove began developing a feature revolutionary for a camp meeting site: cottages (rather than tents) for those who were far from home. The plan and architectural characteristics of Wesleyan Grove were soon emulated by many other camp meeting sites (including celebrated Ocean Grove), and it was designated a National Historic Landmark in 2005 for its role as a prototype for the permanent camp meetings popular in the late nineteenth century. In this 1858 volume, Reverend Hebron Vincent traces the earliest history of Wesleyan Grove and also includes a fascinating appendix listing rules for camp meetings.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of the Wesleyan Grove, Martha's Vineyard, Camp Meeting: From the First Meeting Held There in 1835, to That of 1858, Inclusive; Interspersed With Touching Incidents and General Remarks Why Write the history of any particular camp meeting? In reply to this question, I would say, that I desire to do good, and believe I may be likely to accomplish this object, to some extent, by giving to the public, in a somewhat permanent form, some of the most material facts and reminiscences connected with a place hallowed by a thousand Christian associations; by the preaching of so many gospel sermons by the offering up of so many earnest prayers of faith; by the uttering of so many pa thetic appeals to the unconverted, and so many exhilarating songs of praise to God; by so many sinners saved, and so many believers quickened. If the salvation of the human soul is of such vast importance as it is believed to be by all Christen dom, Why should not the place and circumstances of its conversion to God be regarded as of sufficient consequence to be made matters of enduring record?

Book excerpt: The digital copies of this book are available for free at First Fruits website. place.asburyseminary.edu/firstfruits PREFACE. THE History of the Martha's Vineyard Camp-meeting, published some eleven years since, met with much favor. That History covered twenty-four years, and, including the meeting held at Westport Point in 1845, gave brief descriptions of twenty-four camp-meetings. These annual assemblages have been continued through an additional eleven years, and the writer of the former book has been repeatedly requested to furnish an account, in which the late wonderful changes in the exterior arrangements should be noted. Believing the appropriate time has arrived, he has finally decided to comply, and now offers the following volume, which he believes will be found to be as complete as the means of making such a work will allow. Such as it is, he commits it to the public, in the hope that it will help to remove existing prejudices against such gatherings generally, and thus promote those great interests to which the institution itself was designed to contribute.

Download or read book Oak Bluffs written by Peter A. Jones and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2007 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Oak Bluffs, originally incorporated in 1880 as Cottage City, is located on the northeast shore of Martha's Vineyard. Oak Bluffs: The Cottage City Years on Martha's Vineyard traces this historically significant town from its early years as the site of a renowned religious camp meeting to its incorporation as Cottage City and later as Oak Bluffs. Using historic images, it captures the religious and social spirit of the community and the fun times of promenading on the bluffs, bathing at the beach, playing croquet, and celebrating with parades and illuminations. This book evokes memories of a bygone era: the canvas Tabernacle and tents in Wesleyan Grove, the Sea View House and Martha's Vineyard Railroad in Oak Bluffs, the horse-drawn trolley, and the Martha's Vineyard Summer Institute in the Vineyard Highlands. Also captured is the remarkable preservation of Oak Bluffs, as seen in early photographs of its parks, cottages, and buildings, such as the Tabernacle, Union Chapel, and Arcade.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Martha's Vineyard is cherished by many as a summer paradise, but few know of its rich past. Descendants of the first Native American inhabitants still reside on the Vineyard. Once a critical whaling hub, the island's success drew in newcomers from around the world. Following the Civil War, land developers set their sights on attracting tourists to the island's scenic beaches, and soon thereafter, a visit from President Grant established Martha's Vineyard as a vacation haven. From a movement to secede from Massachusetts to the making of the summer blockbuster Jaws, author Thomas Dresser weaves together the threads of the Vineyard's fascinating history. Discover how this remarkable island adapted to the times and came to be one of the most sought-out vacation destinations on the East Coast.
Download or read book The Rise of Tourism on Martha s Vineyard written by Thomas Dresser and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2013-04-09 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Now known as a resort community and vacation destination, Martha's Vineyard was once a simple fishing and whaling community. From the popularity of the Methodist Campground, founded in 1835, the Vineyard soon blossomed into a summer vacation mecca, welcoming visitors to its quaint villages and scenic seashores. As whaling lost its economic dominance, tourism became the catalyst for a revived prosperity on the Vineyard. President Grant's visit to the Vineyard in 1874 drew national attention and marked the beginning of several presidential visits to the island. By 1900, Oak Bluffs had developed an amusement park atmosphere with the iconic Flying Horses, toboggan slide and grand seaside hotels. Join local historian Tom Dresser as he reveals the island's transformation into a premier tourist destination.

Download or read book The Chautauqua Moment written by Andrew Chamberlin Rieser and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2003-11-05 with total page 417 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book traces the rise and decline of what Theodore Roosevelt once called the "most American thing in America." The Chautauqua movement began in 1874 on the shores of Chautauqua Lake in western New York. More than a college or a summer resort or a religious assembly, it was a composite of all of these—completely derivative yet brilliantly innovative. For five decades, Chautauqua dominated adult education and reached millions with its summer assemblies, reading clubs, and traveling circuits. Scholars have long struggled to make sense of Chautauqua's pervasive yet disorganized presence in American life. In this critical study, Andrew Rieser weaves the threads of Chautauqua into a single story and places it at the vital center of fin de siècle cultural and political history. Famous for its commitment to democracy, women's rights, and social justice, Chautauqua was nonetheless blind to issues of class and race. How could something that trumpeted democracy be so undemocratic in practice? The answer, Rieser argues, lies in the historical experience of the white, Protestant middle classes, who struggled to reconcile their parochial interests with radically new ideas about social progress and the state. The Chautauqua Moment brings color to a colorless demographic and spins a fascinating tale of modern liberalism's ambivalent but enduring cultural legacy.
