- Bio & Autobiographies
Margaret Moore Booker's account of his development as a war correspondent is exceptional, as his dispatches from the Maryland/West Virginia front provided a rare first-person view of the war in 1860. Underhill discovered Nantucket in 1879, and the focus of Booker's story shifts to 'Sconset, where he became a major developer of tourism and entrepreneur of a 'cottage enclave' that attracted the theatrical community to 'Sconset. A selection of Underhill's humorous writings about 'Sconset enhances this substantial biography, which retells in a lively way the real-life adventures of an ambitious, bold, and enterprising man.
