Hampshire coast whos. Area barely reaches 205 acres. This history is by a man who has spent half a century on and around them. Tiny as they are their infuence has been unusally widespread and surprisingly profound in their effect upon the commercial, political and cultural life of mainland America during three and a half centuries. This book is the most comlete inerpretation of this Kingdom in the sea yet published. The story covers island life from the first recorded sighting by Samuel de Champlain in 1605. Captain John Smith's first visit in 1614 and the early fishing villages; the Haley dynasty which transformed these islands into a well-known summer resort early in the 19h century to be broadened and deepened later by the Leighton family amd its illustrious daughter, Celia (Thaxter), who became one of the best known writers of her generation, to the summer religious and educational meetings which are still very much alive today. The lore and legend in this book covers storms and shipwrecks, pirates and buried treasure, ghost and appareitions, murder, tragedy, romance and village life. From the introduction "Spend a winter on Star Island alone with wife and chld in the era before two-way radio communication and you learn that the reality of such living can be summed up in a single sentence One does not, in actuality live on the island; one learns to live with it." DJ price clipped, owner sticker inside front flap.
