Clean pages, shows very minimal signs of wear from use. Shipped with care in a bubble mailer. Feel free to inquire for photos or more details. --- Anne Mazlish presents the diary the New York attorney Charles Tracy kept of his family's 1855 summer stay on Mount Desert Island, Maine. The party of about two dozen is often called the island's first summer visitors. The log follows their journey from New York and records how the island struck Tracy on arrival, their hikes, fishing trips, farm visits, conversations and Sunday sermons, and his descriptions of the landscape and of local families such as the Lynams of Schooner Head. It also contains verse by Tracy and his companions. The painter Frederic Edwin Church was one of the party, and his sketches and drawings are reproduced. This text restores passages cut from an earlier transcription and explains how that copy was made and kept.…
