The Story of Mount Desert Island

Pfitzer, Author of Samuel Eliot Morison's Historical WorldFor Sam, [Mount Desert Island] always evoked the sea, the early Indian settlers and inhabitants, and the wildness and quiet of the 'backside' where nights are broken only by the haunting call of the loon, and the spiraling song of the hermit thrush. --Emily Morison Beck
