Paperback. Condition: Gut. 3rd printing. 141x211 mm. VIII + 212 p. Paperback. Sprache: Englisch, Ill. b/w on 16 plates. In good condition. Cover and spine rubbed. Top edge and foreedge with foxing. Clean inside. USADO / GEBRAUCHT / USED. With a signature of and thus from his belongings, by British journalist Jonathan C. Carr, written in Nantucket 1985. With notes and bibliography, index, a map. Hoyt writes of Nantucket from its Indian tenure and earliest colonization in 1659, through all of its history up to 1977. This is the story of Nantucket's development as a whaling port, its tribulations in the Revolution; the decline of the whaling industry and the accompanying decline of Nantucket's fortunes after about 1850; the growth of tourism, and the arts and crafts colonies. Here history is recorded without losing the sense of high adventure, humor, and excitement of days long past. Education, religion and ramifications and interweavings of the ten or so original families who began it all on Nantucket are told here in lively and fascinating detail. "Lively and well researched, Hoyt's book fascinates with its history of Nantucket and its people." (Publishers Weekly) "Visitors have the idea that the island is something special and Hoyt proves it with a lively look at Nantucket's history .The chapters on the great Nantucket Bank Robbery of 1795, the tragic story of the wreck of the whaler 'Essex', and the 'Globe' mutiny are absorbing, and the discussion of the religion, education and general life of the 'faraway island' are discerning and reflective of another unique bit of America." (Asbury Park Press) Even if one has never been to Nantucket, this is a fascinating story of sea, survival and salvation . Hoyt, who spent a year on Nantucket absorbing the island lore, has filled his history with all the wonderful tales he could pick up." (Newport News, Va. Daily Press) (From cover text) [Nantucket+Hoyt+Massachusetts]. ** 10% DESCUENTO/RABATT/DISCOUNT PRIMAVERA * 11,70 (reduced from 13,00) **. Seller Inventory # 516283
