A Great Gift,
By PJ SanDiego (USA) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Away Off Shore: Nantucket Island and Its People (Paperback)
This book came as a total surprise for me. I was doing research on my family tree and searched Amazon.com for books on Nantucket. This book answered all of my questions. Nathaniel Philbrick has done a very complete job in presenting the history of Nantucket and putting everything into context. In many ways, Nantucket society was pretty progressive when compared to what was going on in the Colonies at the time. I am astonished by how much America and the world has been influenced by many great people who called Nantucket home.
For those trying to piece together their family tree, Philbrick provides enough information for each prominent person for one to trace the connections. I recommend this book for anyone interested in Nantucket history and/or anyone with family connections to Nantucket. |
