The name Marthas Vineyard first appears in a book describing the English explorer Bartholomew Gosnolds 1602 voyage from England. Long before that; the Wampanoag called this island Noepe. English colonists--missionaries; farmers; and seafarers--began to settle on the Vineyard in the 1640s. During the 19th century; seafaring industries dominated the economy; with busy harbors hosting thousands of ships as they put in for refitting; supplies; and crew members. Vineyarders from all classes and diverse ethnicities traveled the world in search of trade and whales; returning home after their long voyages to fishing; farms; and the families who stayed behind. Even as the whaling boom diminished; religious revivalism and then tourism brought more and more summer visitors. By the 20th century; the now familiar yearly cycle of quiet winters alternating with enormous bursts of activity and population in the summers was well established.

Only if they are already confined to a rubber room and writing with LARGE crayons. Looks like the illustrations were done by an untalented ten year old.Usual garbage from this publisher; book is supposedly for adults but front matter talks about kids.This seems to be from the publishing house of ldquo;Throw enough S..T at the wall and some is bound to stick and pay off.If you paid for this or anything from this publisher; ask for a refund.I am trying to be kind and positive with my reviews; this company makes it almost impossible with the volume and total lack of quality in their publications. If this were a paper edition at least I could use it to start a fire; kindle edition isnrsquo;t even any good for that. Garbage. Sorry call them as we see them.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Online Pages BonusBy Trevorwas cute; just not for me.
