| Interview of Nelson Herrick Southwest Harbor Public Library Description: In the second part of this interview, Nelson Herrick continues to talk about being a draftee during World War One but being saved from service by the signing of the armistice. He tells the story of meeting his wife by giving her a ride in his truck. At the time she was a widow with two children and he was delivering milk and farm products. Nelson tells the story of a carnival coming to town and offering $300 to a farmer for his land, not telling him what they planned to use it for. He also claims that he was the first volunteer firefighter after the town acquired a fire engine. Reluctant to tell more, he admits to remembering rum running during Prohibition. Many locals took part and kids found booze in the cellars of Summer People's homes. He also remembers Wabanaki people(Indians) living in a village at the Somesville end of Long Pond and harvesting materials to make baskets. He talks about clamming on the island, how they were processed, and how they were used to help people walk across muddy ground in the spring. He answers questions about his ancestors during the Civil War, telling the story of an ancestor who hired a Russian to take his place in the Army. Then he talks about his time as a teamster working with horses and wagons delivering hay to Ellsworth. He also tells a story about delivering old stones to be used as garden decorations.
