Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Nantucket Scrap Basket: Being a Collection of Characteristic Stories and Sayings of the People of the Town and Island of Nantucket, Massachusetts The House-top Walk. Weather-stained and beaten and empty now, The long, long vigil o'er; No longer the ships go out to sea, And the watchers wait no more; Sailors and watchers are resting now, Some on this sandy lea, And some, with the sea-grass round them twined, Are asleep in the wandering sea. But it comes to me as I walk the street Of the quaint, historic town, A vision these scenes have looked upon In the years so long agone - A vision of struggle with storm and tide, By the brave ones, called to roam On the wrathful way of the ocean wide; And a vision of love at home. On the house-top walk in the morning gray, And yet in the deepening night, They watch for the flash of a homeward sail, Or the swing of a mast-head light. It is mom again, and again 'tis eve, So the days drag one by one, And the steadfast thing in the changeful scene Is the love that will have its own. So the hair grows gray, and the faces thin, For the sea is empty still; And the lonely years will have their way, And God will have His will. But the watch is o'er. What matters now Though the ships drift endlessly, Though some are asleep in the graveyard there, And some in the wandering sea? - Charles L. Thompson.

Book excerpt: “Gerstenblatt's distinctive tale, a triumph in storytelling, celebrates the courage and tenacity of women.” —Booklist, starred review Set against Nantucket’s Great Fire of 1846, this sweeping, emotional novel brings together three courageous women battling to save everything they hold dear… Nantucket in 1846 is an island set apart not just by its geography but by its unique circumstances. With their menfolk away at sea, often for years at a time, women here know a rare independence—and the challenges that go with it. Eliza Macy is struggling to conceal her financial trouble as she waits for her whaling captain husband to return from a voyage. In desperation, she turns against her progressive ideals and targets Meg Wright, a pregnant free Black woman trying to relocate her store to Main Street. Meanwhile, astronomer Maria Mitchell loves running Nantucket’s Atheneum and spending her nights observing the stars, yet she fears revealing the secret wishes of her heart. On a sweltering July night, a massive fire breaks out in town, quickly kindled by the densely packed wooden buildings. With everything they possess now threatened, these three very different women are forced to reevaluate their priorities and decide what to save, what to let go and what kind of life to rebuild from the ashes of the past. "A memorable story of friendship and courage." —Pam Jenoff, New York Times bestselling author of The Lost Girls of Paris

Here, too, is a look at the island's connection to Jamaica, the Middle East, Europe, and Asia -- all sources of people who have contributed to the island's economy and added dimensions to Nantucket's culture" -- Back cover.

Book excerpt: A book about a tiny island with a huge history, from the New York Times bestselling author of Valiant Ambition and In the Hurricane's Eye. “For everyone who loves Nantucket Island this is the indispensable book.” —Russell Baker In his first book of history, Nathaniel Philbrick reveals the people and the stories behind what was once the whaling capital of the world. Beyond its charm, quaint local traditions, and whaling yarns, Philbrick explores the origins of Nantucket in this comprehensive history. From the English settlers who thought they were purchasing a “Native American ghost town” but actually found a fully realized society, through the rise and fall of the then thriving whaling industry, the story of Nantucket is a truly unique chapter of American history.
