Nooks and Corners of the New England Coast
Samuel Adams Drake, a Boston historian and antiquarian, published Nooks and Corners of the New England Coast in 1875 and dedicated it to Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. It is a leisurely tour of the shore from Maine southward, beginning with Mount Desert Island, Bar Harbor and Castine, then Pemaquid, Monhegan and the old towns of York and Kittery, the Isles of Shoals, Marblehead and Salem, Plymouth and its Pilgrim relics, Provincetown, Nantucket, Newport and on to New London and Saybrook in Connecticut. At every stop Drake mixes landscape with local history and legend, from colonial settlers and pirates to Revolutionary figures and old houses, and the many illustrations add to a charming portrait of the coast before modern tourism changed it.
