2918. Furbish, Lynn. (Nantucket) Personal Island. Travel Magazine. June 1938. Lovely two page article details the wonderful atmosphere on the island, with its Georgian houses, shipshape wharves and jetties, and much more. A wonderful look back at the island setting in the late 1930’s as the author details the sights and her reasons for making it her second home. Includes Sankaty Head lighthouse, as well as a most interesting account of the White Elephant hotel, run by Mrs Edward Ludwig of New York – a bit of her history and how her home slowly evolved into one of the finest hotels to be found. Full issue, with wonderful articles of the day. (VG+). $38.
