New England Vignettes by Walt Mears on Mount Desert Island
Retired Rear Adm. Samuel Eliot Morison lauds Mount Desert Island residents as versatile master craftsmen in his new book The Story of Mount Desert Island. He notes islanders’ skills from fishing to farming and recalls steamer stewardess Maggie Higgins and a boot-free deck sign for lumberjacks. Archeologists find artifacts from three Indian cultures dating to 4000 B C. The piece also mentions a Rockland Bar Harbor steamer run and island as a former summer resort for mainland Indians.
