The History of Martha's Vineyard: How We Got Where We Are
By Arthur Railton
This wonderful history, the first comprehensive history of the Island since Charles E. Banks wrote The History of Martha's Vineyard in 1900, begins with the glaciers and works its way through the Native American journey, the age of European exploration and settlement, maritime history, the development of the Island as a world class resort, and more. People, places and events-local and worldwide-are chronicled here.
