Souvenir of Gay Head: Indelible Photographs

"Souvenir of Gay Head: Indelible Photographs" by J. N. Chamberlain is a visual journey back in time to Martha's Vineyard in the late 1800s. The book uses photos to show Gay Head's amazing scenery, the lives of its Indigenous people, and important moments in its past. It's like a time capsule, filled with images of the area, its tall lighthouse, and stories like the scary wreck of the "City of Columbus." The images capture bits of everyday life, show how people got around, and highlight the beautiful views of cliffs and water. Chamberlain's book is more than just pictures; it helps keep Gay Head's history and culture alive, reminding us of the area's special place in time.
