Mongehan Island Explored in Pages of New History Book

Sept. 18, 2009 - PRLog -- New from Arcadia Publishing and locals authors Margot Sullivan,
Cynthia Krusell and John Galluzzo is Monhegan Island in the popular Images of America series.

The natural beauty of Monhegan Island has continuously attracted generations of artists, day-trippers, and summer sojourners. White Head, Pulpit Rock, and Cathedral Woods are names that resonate throughout New England and beyond. Long before the first ferry full of seasonal visitors arrived, the Monhegan Island fishermen had established a permanent community on the island, scratching out an existence on a remote offshore outpost.

Highlights of Monhegan Island:
•   Includes prominent artists Robert Henri and George Bellows, followed by Rockwell Kent and Jamie Wyeth
•   Features Monhegan’s famous cliffs
•   Explores the lighthouse keepers, carpenters, lobstermen, and island people of Monhegan
•   Shows photos of an almost 400-year-old fishing community
