|  The Stanleys of Cranberry Isles…and Other Colorful Characters. Southwest Harbor Public Library Description: Historian, Genealogist, Musician, Boat Builder, Author, Raconteur - there is only one Ralph Stanley. Ralph bears many titles and awards, but for the Southwest Harbor Public Library he is, most of all, a friend. Ralph started using the library as a child and continued as an adult, graduated to Trustee, to President of the Trustees, and, in 2013, became our first Trustee Emeritus. Since 2007 he has spent hundreds of hours patiently identifying people, places and vessels in the Digital Archive. He gave the library his vast collection of photographs, The Ralph Warren Stanley Collection, in 2014. For years he has told us stories of his family, friends and adventures on Mount Desert Island. Archivists have written down almost every word and fact – a treasure for the collection and for the community. This is his chef d’oeuvre, The Stanleys of Cranberry Isles…and Other Colorful Characters, Ralph’s own story, based on his own research and in his own words. To purchase the print version of this book please contact the Southwest Harbor Public Library at archivist@swhplibrary.org or (207) 244-7065. [show more] | |

|  Traditions and records of Southwest Harbor and Somesville, Mount Desert Island, Maine Southwest Harbor Public Library Description: Nellie Carroll Thornton descended from early settlers of Southwest Harbor and was related, in one way or another, to practically all of her neighbors. She inherited her aunt Mary Ann Carroll’s notes for a planned history of the town. Nellie was the author of the SWH social column in the Bar Harbor Times from c. 1921 until c. 1958. She combined her notes from the Times with those from Mary Ann and a good deal of scholarship to produce a very complete history of the town, full of opinion, local mythology and history. She was an astute observer and made a laudable effort to distinguish mythology from history. She left the town she loved its most valuable gift. Traditions and records of Southwest Harbor and Somesville, Mount Desert Island, Maine by Mrs. Seth S. Thornton (Nellie C. Thornton) was originally published by Merrill & Webber Company in 1938. It was reproduced in 1988 by the Southwest Harbor Public Library and digitized in 2010. [show more] | |

|  Lost Bar Harbor Southwest Harbor Public Library Description: From the 1880s to the end of World War I, the fashionable resort of Bar Harbor attracted thousands of summer visitors with the money and leisure to pursue "the simple life on a grand scale," as A. Atwater Kent put it. They came to rusticate, dance, sail, picnic, flirt--and they did it all with style. Many relaxed at Bar Harbor's lavish hotels, while others built even more lavish and fanciful "cottages" for their own summer retreats. That dazzling era is just a memory now. The Depression and World War II undermined the summer colony, and the Great Fire of 1947 dealt the final blow. Those summer homes and hotels that survived the blaze generally succumbed to changing times, and only a handful stand today. Eighty-six vanished summer palaces are pictured in Lost Bar Harbor. Many never before published photographs from the Bar Harbor Historical Society are supplemented by lively text describing the estates and their colorful inhabitants. It is the most comprehensive collection of early Bar Harbor photographs ever assembled, providing an unparalleled glimpse of one of the world's great resort communities. [show more] | ||

|  Homesick For That Place: Ruth Moore Writes About Maine Southwest Harbor Public Library Description: The lives of authors Ruth Moore and Eleanor Ruth Mayo were their own, but their private lives and the lives they led on Mount Desert Island, were so intertwined that archivists find it difficult to divide documents, stories and photographs between them. It is for this reason that this Item exists in the database. It ties together other Items that relate more to both women than to either as an individual. “Homesick For That Place: Ruth Moore Writes About Maine” by Jennifer Craig Pixley is so well conceived that it may be recommended to those who are interested in Ruth and Eleanor above many other works, but there is much to be learned from everything included here.
