Offshore : Nantucket Island and its People,
1602 - 1890, by Nathaniel Philbrick. Philbrick
says of the island, "As a nation beside
a nation, Nantucket was (and is) a microcosm
of America and an exception to the rule..."
Away Offshore documents the achievements,
eccentricities, and far reaching impact
of Nantucketers from preColonial to Victorian
times. |
