Revisiting Seal Harbor and Acadia National Park Book

A perusal through Revisiting Sea Harbor and Acadia National Park will reveal to the reader the natural beauty of the area, though views that attracted the early rusticators and created such dedication from the island's summer and winter residents, that Acadia National Park was born.

The pages within trace the community's history, from its humble beginnings as a small fishing hamlet, through its metamorphosis into a Victorian-era summer resort, and on through the park's development, an economic boon for the island's residents. From images of a time filled with sweeping Victorian dresses, grand yachts, and wildwood hikes, to acounts of the area's prosperity in the 1910s and 1920s - when the area became synonomous with the Rockefeller and Ford names - Revisiting Seal Harbor and Acadia National Park invites the reader to take a lingering look into the lives of the early islanders and summer visitors.
