167461896 Path Map of the Eastern Part of Mount Desert Island, Maine
  • Map, Base Map
  • Places
  • Bates - Waldron Bates (1856-1909)
  • Rand - Edward Lothrop Rand (1859-1924)
  • Jaques - Herbert Jaques (1857-1916)
  • 1896
  • Acadia National Park, HCTPR
This 1896 edition of the map shows “Magnetic Rock” at two locations in Seal Harbor, one on Barr Hill and the other near Ox Hill. Both notations were removed in the next version of the map in 1901, presumably because earlier reports that magnetite had been found in those places by a Dr. Jackson were incorrect (Bar Harbor Times, 9/25/1941, p. 6.).

16745Edith Hamilton (1867-1963)
  • Reference
  • People
Edith Hamilton was an educator, writer and a historian. Her father began teaching her Latin when she was seven years old and soon added Greek, French and German to her curriculum. Hamilton's education continued at Miss Porter's School in Farmington, Connecticut and at Bryn Mawr College near Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, from which she graduated in 1894 with an M.A. degree. The following year, she and her sister Alice went to Germany and were the first women students at the universities of Munich and Leipzich. Hamilton returned to the United States in 1896 and accepted a position of the headmistress of the Bryn Mawr Preparatory School in Baltimore, Maryland. For the next twenty-six years, she directed the education of about four hundred girls per year. After her retirement in 1922, she started writing and publishing scholarly articles on Greek drama. In 1930, when she was sixty-three years old, she published The Greek Way, in which she presented parallels between life in ancient Greece and in modern times. The book was a critical and popular success. In 1932, she published The Roman Way, which was also very successful. These were followed by The Prophets of Israel (1936), Witness to the Truth: Christ and His Interpreters (1949), Three Greek Plays, translations of Aeschylus and Euripides (1937), Mythology (1942), The Great Age of Greek Literature (1943), Spokesmen for God (1949) and Echo of Greece (1957). Hamilton traveled to Greece in 1957 to be made an honorary citizen of Athens and to see a performance in front of the Acropolis of one of her translations of Greek plays. She was ninety years old at the time. At home, Hamilton was a recipient of many honorary degrees and awards, including election to the American Academy of Arts and Letters.

Southwest Harbor lifelong summer resident Andrew McInnes sailing Venture in the 1930s. The sailboat, co-owned with his brother Robert, was a B.B. Corninshield B Boat. Andrew didn't know that Mr. Ballard had taken the photograph until he happened to be in Grand Central Station in New York City and saw an enormous print or projection of the image advertising Maine as a tourist destination. Mr. Ballard gave him the 8x10 glass negative when they next met.
