The islands of Marthas Vineyard and Nantucket; off the Cape Cod coast of Massachusetts; were first inhabited by members of the Wampanoag tribe. English settlements were established in the mid-1600s. As the populations and commerce grew; so did the need for reliable transportation. The islands were first served by privately owned sailing vessels; but things began to change with the introduction of marine steam power. In 1818; the little steamer Eagle was the first to cross Nantucket Sound. Although she only remained in these waters for three months; she began what was to become a tradition of steamboat travel to the islands that lasted for 170 years. The images in this volume include well-known steamers with familiar names like Nobska; Naushon; Gay Head; and Uncatena; as well as many others.

There were some interesting little tid-bits of information here and there; but it read like a book report. I dont think the author ever actually spoke to Manson. It has a lot of periphery information about other band members and people around Manson and if you are willing to wade through it I suppose its a good buy for the info.I will keep the book in my library; but it wasnt as well written as the other authorized biography.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.

It was the first one I read; but to be honest... not the best.
