Download or read book Oak Bluffs The Cottage City Years on Martha s Vineyard written by Peter A. Jones and published by Arcadia Library Editions. This book was released on 2007-05 with total page 130 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.

Download or read book On this Island written by Billy Morrow Jackson and published by Sports Publishing LLC. This book was released on 2005 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the ferry leaves Woods Hole and Martha's Vineyard slowly rises on the horizon, something inside you changes. The air is cleaner, the sky seems more blue and the water clearer. Then you realize it is not the water or the air or the sky that change, but that something inside you changes as you leave the mainland and draw closer to the Island. Martha's Vineyard may be just a few miles off the coast of Cape Cod, but to those who love the Island, she is world away. The Wampanoag name for the Vineyard, Noepe means Island in the Streams and comes close to capturing the essence of Martha's Vineyard. To describe Martha's Vineyard historically and geographically is easy. It was formed nearly 12,000 years ago, was first settled by the Wampanoag Indians and was discovered in 1602 by English mariner Bartholomew Gosnold. It is 100 square miles and consists of six distinct towns. But to capture the spirit of the Island is a much greater challenge. Acclaimed artists Billy Morrow Jackson, a Vineyard resident and visitor for over fifty years, and his wife, Siti Maria Jackson, provide an artist's view of this unique Island in the Streams. On this Island includes original paintings, including classic works depicting the Gay Head Cliffs and Menemsha to the down Island towns of Vineyard Haven, Oak Bluffs and Edgartown. The artists focus not only on the land that is Martha's Vineyard, but they also capture the life and spirit of the people of the Island. On this Island: An Artist's View of Martha's Vineyard offers a rare view of the Island captured by two artists who know and appreciate all that the Island is.

Download or read book Unbroken Circles written by and published by David R. Godine Publisher. This book was released on 2000 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Methodist campground located in the small community of Oak Bluffs on Martha's Vineyard has been beloved by generations of visitors and residents. It was here, in the years of the Civil War, that the first clusters of small Victorian homes were constructed, replacing the temporary tent platforms that provided shelter to the faithful who had come by side-wheeler to listen to the preaching emanating from the central Tabernacle. Today, these makeshift structures have been transformed into Victorian cottages of almost infinite variety, a colorful, decorative necklace of glorious, unrestrained architectural fancy and diversity. Families have gathered here for generations, not only to celebrate their faith but also to partake in the social rituals such as Grand Illumination Night with its Chinese lanterns that have become an indelible part of our heritage.

Download or read book New England Views written by Susan Fletcher Witzell and published by . This book was released on 1998 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a very special look at the life and work of a unique New England photographer whose technical interests and artistic eye captured plain facts and fine beauty in his photographic compositions. Some of his photography reveals an interest in current events that caused him to be the occassional photojournalist. His early work as an instructor of photography and art previews his fine skill in composing his plates. This is the first book of Coolidge's photography ever produced. The collection of 200 photographs in this book portrays Woods Hole, Massachusetts, the islands of Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket, as well as the surrounding coastal area of the Elizabeth Islands and villages along Buzzards Bay. It also includes historic scenes of Boston, the North Shore, mills along the Merrimack River, a coastal village in Maine, a rural town in New Hampshire and many maritime scenes. Each plate has been printed by the duotone process to give a near approximation of the sepia tones used by Coolidge in his original prints.--Book jacket.
