Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Oldest House on Nantucket Island: In Two Parts The two custodians who have taken charge of the house and shown it to visitors since it was first opened for pub lic inspection, although kindly consenting to the publica tion of a few extracts from their letters, will see in these printed pages for the first time the passages which have been chosen. The entire series of letters received from them during their custodianship would be regarded as most attractive reading by all who have a tend-er regard for old houses and old associations, and who have at the same time a keen sense of the many varying phases of human nature, from the ludicrous and peculiar upward to its higher manifestations. The chapters composing Part Second, although placed and mentioned last, are by no means the least prized por tion of the contents. As far as merit is concerned they might well have occupied the first pages of the book. But in view of their character it seemed proper that they should take the place the skilled architect reserves for his most ornamental work, not at the foundation, nor in the central portion, but for the part last built, the crest or crown of his edifice.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Quaint Nantucket If the tradition is to be believed, these rustic mariners made themselves exiles from home, to be outcasts upon an island which was thirty miles distant from the mainland; where none of the comforts of life existed, where wintry gales blew with a roar like the roar of iron-mills, and sea fowl sometimes perished in a struggle for life.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Quaker Girl of Nantucket IN Nantucket town, on one of the streets which is more properly restrained, more certain than others where it wants to go, stands a house more ample than its fellows, and farther back from the cobble-stone pavement, so as to give it a few feet of grass plot in front, when other houses stand flush upon the sidewalk. It is a drab house, well furnished with drab' shutters, inside and out, whereas most of the Nantucket houses have no shutters at all. These differences give it an honorable distino tion. It is a foregone concession that the people who live there are to be very highly regarded. Three generations of Swains had passed quiet lives under the roof of this exceptional dwelling, and the fourth was represented by one little girl, Miriam Swain, some twenty Odd years ago.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Nantucket Odyssey: A Journey Into the History of Nantucket The story of Nantucket and its people is the story of the growth of America, of adventure, hardship and toil, human sacrifice, and free enterprise in a friendly, unostentatious society The spirit of peace and restfulness still pervades the island, but the odor and industry of whale oil are gone. The writer was attracted to Nantucket to explore its fascinating fungous flora and by an organized interest there in the island's natural science. The old landmarks, the nar row streets and the old houses of weathered gray shingles prompted him to inquire into its past. He was inquisitive, but he never intended to neglect his Nantucket botany to write this patchwork quilt of episodes of the island and its former people. Nevertheless it happened. There's a spell in Nantucket well known to bewitch, Which exerts the same charm o'er the poor and the rich.

Download or read book Nantucket Wild Flowers Classic Reprint written by Alice O. Albertson and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-01 with total page 512 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Nantucket Wild Flowers This book attempts to be a companion for any one who desires to be more intimate with the wild flowers on Nantucket. Undeniably, the natural setting of the island's wild flowers casts an abiding spell, most deeply felt on "the Commons" (the heathland), where the majority of the wild flowers grow. This allurement may be born of vast and open spaces, where an air of elusive mystery, under the magnifying influence of a salt atmosphere, hangs about the low and rolling hills. Or it may be due to a vicarious joy in the triumph of flowers that have to fight for existence. Yet the very elements that make the fight necessary - salt winds and unhampered sunshine - are known to be influences also in creating intensity of colour in flowers and grasses. And beauty of colouring is, unquestionably, one of the strongest bonds between the Commons and us. Even in winter colour is by no means lacking. The lustrous Mealy-plum Vine carpets all the dry ground, and "Evergreen" bushes are abundant in the swamps. Later, the Commons in certain places arc covered with Mayflowers or the eye rests on an endless carpet of the Barren Heath (Hudsonia), dazzlingly yellow, or "Over hill, over dale, Thorough bush, thorough brier," are flaunted the most brilliant crimsons and yellows and purples. A veiling haze and changing lights save this profuseness of colour from barbaric crudity, softening outlines and colours. Still another factor in making Nantucket a happy hunting-ground for those interested in flowers is the geographical location. As Prof. Asa Gray once declared, nothing is a surprise from Nantucket.
