Gloucester's Sea Serpent
Author: Wayne Soini
Publisher: Arcadia Publishing
ISBN: 1614232334
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 128
Book Description
In 1817, as Gloucester, Massachusetts, was recovering from the War of 1812, something beneath the water was about to cause a stir in this New England coastal community. It was a misty August day when two women first sighted Gloucester's sea serpent, touching off a riptide of excitement among residents that reached a climax when Matt Gaffney fired a direct shot at the creature. Local historian Wayne Soini explores the depths of Gloucester harbor to reveal a treasure-trove of details behind this legendary mystery. Follow as he tracks Justice of the Peace Lonson Nash's careful investigation, the world's first scientific study of this marine animal, and judges the credibility of numerous reported sightings.

Pages : 334
Book Description
Excerpt from The Story of Gloucestershire The rapid exhaustion of an issue of two thousand copies of the First Edition of this little work is an indication that it achieves the two objects for which it was written. Those objects were (i) to give practical effect to the suggestion of the Education Committee of the County Councils' Association, that in our Elementary Schools lessons in geography should begin with the physical features of the district, and instruction in history should, so far as possible, begin with events associated with some local event or object and (2) to present the story of Gloucestershire as illustrative of the story of England: for, as Mr. F. A. Hye'i't says, in his valuable work, Gloucester in National History, if an interest in local history can be awakened, national history is often studied with greater pleasure, and to more advantage. In preparing a Second Edition I have availed myself of the opportunity to revise the form in which a few of the leading events in our county history are presented, and to correct a few errors which kindly critics have pointed out. I have also added an entirely new chapter, on The Making of Gloucestershire, in which an attempt is made to trace the stages through which the county came into being. As stated in the First Edition, the authorities consulted are far too numerous to mention, but it is only just to gratefully acknowledge my indebtedness for much information gleaned from the Transactions of the Bristol and Gloucestershire Archaeological Society. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books. Find more at www.forgottenbooks.com This book is a reproduction of an important historical work. Forgotten Books uses state-of-the-art technology to digitally reconstruct the work, preserving the original format whilst repairing imperfections present in the aged copy. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in our edition. We do, however, repair the vast majority of imperfections successfully; any imperfections that remain are intentionally left to preserve the state of such historical works.
