Nantucket Scraps - Austin Jane Goodwin

Nantucket Scraps is a book written by Jane Goodwin Austin and published in 1882. The book tells the story of an off-islander's experiences on the island of Nantucket, both in and out of season, among a passing people. The author provides a vivid description of the island's landscape, its people, and its traditions. She also discusses the changes that have taken place on the island over time, including the decline of the whaling industry and the rise of tourism. The book is a fascinating glimpse into the history and culture of Nantucket, as seen through the eyes of an outsider. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of New England or the island of Nantucket.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
