Mount Desert

"Mount Desert" offers a profound and comprehensive exploration of one of the most breathtaking regions of the American Northeast. Written by George E. Street, this work serves as an essential chronicle of Mount Desert Island, Maine, tracing its development from its early discovery and settlement to its emergence as a premier summer destination.

The narrative delves into the island's unique geographical features, its rugged coastal beauty, and the lives of the people who shaped its history. Street provides detailed accounts of the early explorers, the struggles of pioneer life, and the eventual rise of Bar Harbor and the surrounding villages. Beyond its historical facts, the book captures the spiritual and natural allure of the landscape that would later become home to Acadia National Park.

Rich with local lore and topographical detail, "Mount Desert" is an invaluable resource for historians, nature enthusiasts, and anyone captivated by the enduring charm of the Maine coast.
