Reseña del libro "Vineyard Vanguards (en Inglés)"
Creating an Island CommunityVineyard men and women, Islanders, off-islanders and immigrants contributed their energy and enthusiasm to create the Martha's Vineyard community. Generations of businessmen and women catered to locals and tourists, welcoming newcomers to this Island paradise. Native Americans of the Wampanoag tribe have lived on the Island for thousands of years. Their leaders helped bring the Indians together with the white men, led by Thomas Mayhew, to a peaceful relationship. The founders of Oak Bluffs created a town for both Methodist gingerbread cottages and vacation homes. Whaling captains built the county seat of Edgartown. It was sea captains and shipyard workers who developed the commercial harbor of Vineyard Haven, for centuries a refuge for sailors. Presidents Clinton and Obama visited the Vineyard, granting the Island national prominence. The Vineyard is a mix of old businesses and new, of Blacks and whites, of immigrants and Natives, working for a tranquil resort community. Historian David McCulloch called the Vineyard home. Local John Alley was a leader of the secession movement and Craig Kingsbury's head made a startling cameo in Jaws. Thomas Dresser describes how dozens of Islanders have contributed to the unique atmosphere of Martha's Vineyard.
