From History's Locker
From the Introduction:
"This book, From History's Locker, is just what the name implies, a look into the fascinating locker of historical fact and fancy, and intimate glimpses of the interesting and talented people who were here before the white men settled on this beautiful island.
A great deal has been written in the past about these tings by the early settlers and adventurers and a lot of priceless photographs are safely in archives because someone took the time to record the local scene, now a hundred years later is a new look at the old and the new, the Indian people at work and at play in this natural wonderland.
The island had seen a lot of changes in the past century and the indian people have tried hard to come abreast of their white brothers, but somehow the rush of the gasoline age has failed to disturb the strong primitive instinct that lives in every one of them. IF the white man should leave today, the adaptable Indian people would suffer little, for the sea, the forest and all the things of nature are his, he is at home."
