4.9/5 (34713 ratings)

Description:Excerpt from Nantucket: A History As no systematic historical record of Nantucket has appeared since 1835, when Obed Macy's History was published, and as for some time past a general desire has been expressed that a new history, of a popular character, be issued, the writer, at the solicitation of several prominent islanders, at length consented to compile such a work. The present volume, which is the result of such an endeavor, has been written under difficulties, not the least of which has been the author's residence on the mainland. In view of this circumstance it could not have been produced at all without the collaboration of numerous friends and much correspondence. While every competent authority has been consulted, a special effort has been made to compress the material at the writer's disposal into a work of limited compass, and at the same time to leave unchronicled no important matters. The history of the island in the latter half of the nineteenth century has not before been systematically recorded.
