Hardcover. Condizione: Near Fine. Condizione sovraccoperta: Very Good+. First Edition. Scattered spotting along the foredge of the text block - does not affect the interior pages at all. The author groups islands in geographically logical "divisions. " Each has a brief introduction but is dominated by a heavily illustrated text sketching the history of individual islands. Nature left the eastern islands with distinct liabilities: more fog, higher tides, and rockier and less fertile soil. Similar conditions on the mainland meant that early inhabitants moved into the interior. There was no coastal road system, and the railroad bypassed the region until the twentieth century. All this meant one thing to the islanders. They were even more isolated than their western counterparts. Family names in the censuses of 1800 and 1900 bore striking similarities. Island domination by a single or handful of families bred ingrownness, a sense of having been excluded from an increasingly modern world, and fierce regional pride. McLane doesn't dwell on his comparisons, but they are rich with implications for the sharp divisions within the state's literary and political communities today." [Jere R. Daniell] Scarce copy. Map endpapers. ; Book is in excellent condition. "McLane's second volume in the Island History series is a powerful, dramatic narrative about the generations of island people who landed on isolated shores and literally carved their lives out of the stone, spruce, and rocky intertidal of the archipelago and helped shape Maine's great maritime culture." ; B&W Illustrations, Maps & Photos.; Oblong 8vo 8" to 9" tall; 406 pages.
