Produktbeschreibung
A rich history of Martha's Vineyard through photographs taken over 100 years apart highlighting the island's changes. This book is written especially for those who wish to visit Martha's Vineyard and learn a little of its rich history. It reveals, through the comparison of photographs taken well over 100 years apart, the nature, extent and direction of changes that have occurred here. Change usually occurs gradually, incrementally. But here we can see its impact in an instant. This is a small island, but it is a large subject. The first two books in this series, Martha's Vineyard Through Time: The Present in the Past and Martha's Vineyard Through Time: Tourism and the Cleansing Sea, focus on the Island as resort. The theme of this book has been expanded to include the "up-Island" landscape that was a world apart from the one of leisure only a few miles eastward. The activities in this sparsely populated part of the early Island were not only agricultural, but also industrial. How the up-Island landscape once appeared and how this division persisted between "two Martha's Vineyards" are new themes in this final book of this series, Martha's Vineyard Through Time: Pinkletinks Piping in the Spring.
