5. Artists and Boarders-with a Military Interlude
Besides the printed diary of Thomas Cole, and photographs of his sketchbook, the basic sources are the diary of Mr. Charles Tracy, es- pecially pp. 1-8, 23, and 83; the several editions of the Martin, De Costa, Lapham, Sherman, and Chisholm Guides, many of which have annually changing steamship advertisements; Mr. John Richardson's Steamboat Lore of the Penobscot, especially pp. 43-52, 63-72; the relevant census microfilms; the Hamor typescript; and the Roberts Scrapbook, from which last come the newspaper clippings quoted. Maine Regimental Histories were used to check on the Hamor lists of Civil War service.
Quotations are from: Bryant, William Cullen, editor, Picturesque America. New York, 1869. p. 3; Willetts, Joseph, The Cruise of the Forest Home, New York. 1866. pp. 103-46; and Swift, Henry Walton. Mount Desert in 1873. Boston, 1873. pp. 12-14.
The diary of Dr. Richard H. Derby, and additional information, were supplied by Mr. J. Lloyd Derby, of New York.
6. Cottagers Versus Boarders
Sources are the legislative files of the Secretary of State of Maine, especially for the session of 1875, Filing Number (not Act) 289; guides and census reports as above, and the Mount Desert Herald and its suc- cessor newspapers the Bar Harbor Record and the Bar Harbor Times.
For the Green Mountain Railway see the file in the Sawtelle Collection, which contains tickets, notices, etc., Maine Secretary of State legislative file 199 of the 188 1-3 session, the Ellsworth American, April 26, 1933, and Appalachia, December, 1943, article Mount Desert's Mountain Railway, by Frank H. Burt.
7. The Summer Colony
Much of this chapter is based, as is obvious, on information generally current in the Bar Harbor community. But it has been the author's policy, in writing this chapter, to avoid personal names, unless they
25I
Sources, Notes, and Bibliography
have already been printed, and to support generalizations by references to fiction.
The article by Robert Grant referred to is his Plea for Bar Harbor, in the December, 1883, Outing. The Bar Harbor Historical Collection has the records of the Reading Room, and notices, lists of members, cards of invitation of it and of the Canoe Club. Information on the great auto- mobile war was obtained at a meeting at the Jesup Library, in 1947, organized by Mrs. John De Witt Peltz, the Bar Harbor Times, August 7, 2I, and 28, 1907, and from Dorr, George Bucknam. Acadia National Park, Its Growth and Development, Bangor, Maine. 1948. pp. 5-14.
8. Recent Events
The story of the National Park is to be found in Mr. George Bucknam Dorr's two thin volumes, Acadia National Park, Its Origin and Back- ground, Bangor, Maine, 1942, and, posthumously published, Acadia National Park, Its Growth and Development, Bangor, 1948. These have been checked with the National Park, National Monument and other Interior Department files now open to the public in the National Archives, and light upon them has been secured by an interview with the Hon. John A. Peters of Ellsworth, Maine. Other sources are the pri- vately printed Hale-Ickes correspondence, the late David O. Rodick's typescript History of the Bar Harbor Banking and Trust Co., the card catalogues of corporation records kept by the Maine Secretary of State, and the official records of Lieutenant Fabbri and of the Otter Creek Radio Station in the National Archives, the files of the Bar Harbor Times, and Linscott, Edward L., The History of Secondary Education in Washington and Hancock Counties, Orono, Maine, 1932 (University of Maine Publication Number) .
9. The Great Fire and After
Three types of sources were used. The press of the immediate time; official reports issued by the fire and police departments and the National Red Cross; and, above all, personal knowledge and interviews with all officials concerned. The author reached Bar Harbor the night of October 24, and stayed on the island for a week thereafter.
The following books and pamphlets, though not referred to in the notes, form a basis for statements made in the text; this is not, how- ever, a complete list of books and other writings consulted:
