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 The Oldest House on Nantucket Island written by Ida Gardner Coffin and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-31 with total page 150 pages. 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 Wth 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 Early Settlers of Nantucket: Their Associates and Descendants Several histories and genealogical books Of individual families have been prepared, and are a great help in a work like this. It is not necessary, however, to the islanders that complete genealogies be put at their disposal, Since the town, court and Friends' records are unusually complete and well preserved, and may be consulted if one really wants to know. There are matters which, to the people Of Nantucket, who have one hundred or more years of family record on the island, are of common interest. It must be remembered that very few Of the early settlers came directly from the Old world to Nantucket. Settlements were located on the main land, and family alliances made which are now interesting to note; and in the few instances where the families are brought down to the present time, it is intended to Show the cropping up wherever one may go Of descendants Of the quiet Quaker people whose beginnings were SO humble, but whose influence has been so widespread.
