The History of Nantucket, County, Island and Town Including Genealogies of First Settlers
Boston: C.E. Goodspeed and Co, 1924. Cloth. Good. Item #021545
Blue cloth. 871 pp. Two fold out maps and several photographs throughout. As the title sums up neatly, this is an exhaustive history of the island of Nantucket off the coast of Massachusetts, focusing on white settlers and ignoring any contributions to its settlement by indigenous people. It does assert that Vikings probably surveyed the island and the coast of Massachusetts well before Columbus. With a genealogy of early white settlers. GOOD condition, ex-library. Spine label, interior pockets, pastedowns and markings present. Minor scuffing, fading, soiling and edgewear to the covers. Both interior hinges cracked and separating from the text block, tenuously holding on. Minor toning to the text block.
