Hardcover. Condition: As New. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. Peter Ralston (Photographs) (illustrator). 1st Edition. Boards (HB) in as new condition. dust jacket in near fine condition with slight cover wear.Located off the southwest coast of Mount Desert Island in Maine, Gotts Island, a mile across and three miles round, is ringed with bright granite?a "rock bound belt" that suggests concreteness, independence, and separation from the sea around it. But no island, no place, ever stands alone and unchanging. The small, close-knit community established on Gotts Island in the late eighteenth century disappeared in the twentieth, leaving behind mere traces, names on the cemetery stones. In its wake came the summer people, returning year after year, with "bags, bundles, and memory." 172 pages with an epilogue and an essay on sources.
