This review is from: The island city: A history of Eastport, Moose Island, Maine
This is John Holt's beautifully written account of a small costal city in Maine. Eastport is seen through rich black and white pictures that depict a bygone era when the area was defined by the sardine industry. Mr Holt expands upon and augments previous historical accounts like "Eastport and Passamaquoddy". At times, it reads like a dry, geneology report. However, chapters like Business Merchants and the Arts make the area come alive in the reader's mind. He includes personal accounts of prominant visitors and Eastport residents that add local flavor and an insight on how people lived in the 19th and 20th centuries. With the sardine industry gone, his book explains how the rugged island people continued living as their beloved city was dying. Eastport is a paradox: a city with a population of 2000 people, and island with a causeway, a land closer to Canada than New Hampshire. This book is about a city of the mind, a Norman Rockwell painting that came to life.
