|
|
| On April 19, 1893 the Cooper's son, Joseph Walter Cooper, married Nellie Sue Inman, daughter of Samuel Andrew Martin Inman and his first wife, Nancy Jane Dick. Nellie's father, Samuel Andrew Martin Inman was the owner of S.M. Inman & Co., one of the largest dealers in cotton in the world, with several branch offices in different parts of the South. He was one of the organizers and a director of the Southern Railway, the yards of which in Atlanta are named for him and was a major Georgian philanthropist. Nellie's brother, Henry Arthur Inman (1869-after 1920) and his wife, Roberta Sutherland Crew built their cottage, "Sutherland" now "Heeltap" at 16 Kinfolk Lane, Southwest Harbor, in 1901. Their son, Arthur Crew Inman (1895-1963) is notorious for having written the "Inman Diaries." On March 28, 1894 Samuel Andrew Martin Inman and his recently acquired second wife, Mildred (McPheeters) Inman (1867-1946), gave a lavish reception at their home in Atlanta, Georgia, for their daughter Nellie and her mother in law, Emma Jane Cooper. This fulsome description of the party, published in "The Atlanta Constitution" on March 29, 1894 illustrates the world inhabited by the Cooper and Inman families. |

| Historian, Genealogist, Musician, Boat Builder, Author, Raconteur - there is only one Ralph Stanley. Ralph bears many titles and awards, but for the Southwest Harbor Public Library he is, most of all, a friend. Ralph started using the library as a child and continued as an adult, graduated to Trustee, to President of the Trustees, and, in 2013, became our first Trustee Emeritus. Since 2007 he has spent hundreds of hours patiently identifying people, places and vessels in the Digital Archive. He gave the library his vast collection of photographs, The Ralph Warren Stanley Collection, in 2014. For years he has told us stories of his family, friends and adventures on Mount Desert Island. Archivists have written down almost every word and fact – a treasure for the collection and for the community. This is his chef d’oeuvre, The Stanleys of Cranberry Isles…and Other Colorful Characters, Ralph’s own story, based on his own research and in his own words. To purchase the print version of this book please contact the Southwest Harbor Public Library at archivist@swhplibrary.org or (207) 244-7065. |

| Acadia National Park Ethnographic Overview and Assessment Volume 1 and Volume 2 This two-volume historical-ethnographic overview of Acadia National Park spans almost 500 years and covers a wide coastal stretch between Penobscot and Gouldsboro Bays – and sometimes much beyond. Such breadth of coverage is necessary in order to take in the park’s center piece on Mount Desert Island, plus Isle au Haut and Schoodic Peninsula, along with various land holding arrangements (including easements) on numerous offshore sea-islands in this area.1 The study explores the shifting but ongoing relationship between this habitat and Wabanaki peoples – a group of northeastern Algonquianspeaking ethnic groups or tribal nations today distinguished as the Abenaki, Maliseet, Mi'kmaq, Passamaquoddy and Penobscot. |

| 3457 | Homesick For That Place: Ruth Moore Writes About Maine |

| The lives of authors Ruth Moore and Eleanor Ruth Mayo were their own, but their private lives and the lives they led on Mount Desert Island, were so intertwined that archivists find it difficult to divide documents, stories and photographs between them. It is for this reason that this Item exists in the database. It ties together other Items that relate more to both women than to either as an individual. “Homesick For That Place: Ruth Moore Writes About Maine” by Jennifer Craig Pixley is so well conceived that it may be recommended to those who are interested in Ruth and Eleanor above many other works, but there is much to be learned from everything included here. |
