The History of Martha's Vineyard: How We Got to Where We Are is the only book a library should need on the subject: it doesn't just begin with human habitation, but moves from the region's geologic formation through the end of World War II, using a quarter-century of research in the process of detailing its changes. Any Vineyard resident or visitor will find this perfect for learning how the Vineyard played an important role in American history, with local color and family history supplementing wider considerations of Vineyard influence. An outstanding, definitive guide results.
