Almost everyone who has visited Nantucket can recite its "official
history." But very few know the real reasons why things turned out
as they did. Why the British first came to Nantucket and why the
Indians let them in. Why Nantucket eclipsed all other ports in
whaling wealth and why its fortunes ultimately fell. How the tiny
hamlet of 'Sconset saved Nantucket from becoming a near ghost town.
The true mission of a "top secret" Navy Base at Tom Nevers, the
attempted Federal takeover of the whole island in 1972, and three
unrelated events that triggered Nantucket's recent real estate
feeding frenzy.
In "Tom Never's Ghost" you'll gain a fresh new understanding of
the Island's history, both past and present, and learn much that
has never been reported before, all in a lively historical
narrative format that goes well beyond a straight history to
"connect all the dots." At 288 pages, the book is illustrated with
32 historical maps and photos.
