Excerpt from The Tourist's Guide to Nantucket and Martha's Vineyard: A Sketch of These Famous Watering Places; Their Attractions, Drives and Places of Amusement, With Maps and Illustrations
Nantucket, that queenly island whose ineffable supremacy over other sea shore resorts, in its delightful climate and pleasing surroundings, is steadily forging ahead in universal popularity, and is to-day one of the most sought after watering places. Its rare old antiquity, its fine hunting and fishing facilities, have endowed it with charms irresistible.
The rich sights of quaint mannerisms and the unchanged customs of ye years ago, are readily conducible to a complete reversal of the customary visions that confront the metropolitan visitor, and thus the transmutation of the mind to a broader and more thorough appreciation of the deeds of those who so many years ago made this island their home. On every hand the tourist is encountered by sights that have a refreshing tendency upon the intellect, that to be fully comprehended must be experienced.
