|  Letter from Carl Nelson. Great Cranberry Island Historical Society Description: A letter to Polly Storey from Carl Nelson. It says "Nearly four score years have paled the happy memories of festive experience as a small child. The place was Sweden, where I was born, and the occasion was the building of a Christmas snow house. This was not to be an ordinary snow house, but one of architectural ingenuity and splendor. We started by making a generous circle of medium-sized balls of snow row, placed alternately, and so on, with each successive row tilted slightly towards the center. The end result was a filigreed rotunda of white lace. An opening was left as a doorway, and now was was carefully dashed over the entire structure to give it an icy strength and an appearance of glistening crystal. The undertaking was accomplished and the enthusiasm boundless. Now it was time for the celebration to begin. Lighted candles were moved in, and the rhythmic beating of a drum added an impressive air of festivity. Not until the afternoon light had faded did the fervorr slacken and surrender to a northern twilights blessing of opalescent magic to a child's palace and a fitting place to spend all the days of Christmas. He sent this from his residence on Cranberry Island, a residence he named "Tosh Park." [show more] | ||

|
|  "Commodore Preble." Great Cranberry Island Historical Society Description: "A significant article by Colonel Bigelow in last Sunday's Telegram retold the story of Maine's famous Commodore Preble whom we have too slightly honored. No more distinguished name than his graces our history, for it was he who father the United States Navy and set those high standards of discipline and gallantry for which it is and has been famous. When one hears of "fighting spirit", one associates the phrase with the old Commodore who was a blazing figure in the earlier days of our national existence. Col. Bigelow finds that this fighting spirit was the keynote of the Preble character and that it was of inestimable importance in the war of 1812 when the Navy alone preserved the independence of the feeble Nation.
