American Horse Breeder Publishing Co. postcard with hand written local inscription Number 5903. According to Jeff Beaumont, the car in the illustration is a 1906 Rambler. "In Mt. Desert, Tremont and Southwest Harbor nearly all the voters have signed the petitions while in the town of Eden [Bar Harbor] more than half of the voters have signed and a number of names are being added to the list each day. As is well known, practically every summer visitor to the island favors the absolute prohibition of automobiles on the island. The island of Mt. Desert is a dead end, so to speak, and an automobile could cover the whole island in a few hours, making no incentive for a prolonged stay. Yet a great deal of damage could be accomplished in a few hours in such a place as this where practically the entire summer population passes a large portion of each day in driving. The horses are not city broke and the numerous accidents that have already occurred here through the use of autos furnish a good specimen of what would happen were their use more common." - The Bar Harbor Record, December 30, 1908, quoted in the Bar Harbor Times, “Times Past” column by Deborah Dyer, January 1, 2009 See SWHPL 7484 for a photograph of Simeon "Sim" Holden Mayo breaking the rules and driving his automobile in Bar Harbor in 1908.

15047Buckboard Riding
  • Reference
  • Transportation, Wagon
"The other outdoor sport of the time was buckboard riding. There were several livery stables here… In the afternoon, summer visitors…would hire these buckboards, first having to send a small boy with the message because there were no telephones then, and would drive to all parts of the island - Bar Harbor, Jordan Pond, Bubble Pond, and even to the western side of the island. People were so keen on driving that they would sometimes take the "J.T. Morse" in the afternoon to Southwest Harbor, hire a team there, and drive all around the western side of the island. Then they would hire some kind of motorboat to bring them back from the Claremont House in the early evening." - Mount Desert - An Informal History Edited by Gunnar Hansen, section written by Rear Admiral Samuel Eliot Morison, p. 182-3 - 1989. "The buckboard deserves particular mention, as being the vehicle best suited to the roads of the island. The first buckboard was rudely fashioned out of two pairs of wheels with a couple of planks stretched between them, and seats nailed or tied on the planks. But it has developed wonderfully, and some of the buckboards of the present day are marvels of the builder's and painter's arts. Many of them are now shipped to all parts of the country for people who have first seen the vehicle here. The gentle swaying motion of the board while traveling at full speed over the hilly roads is simply delightful; and no person who has ever ridden on one wishes to use any other kind of vehicle during his stay." - A Guide to Bar Harbor published by W.H. Sherman, p. 34 - 1897. “Early buckboards were constructed out of two pairs of wheels with wooden planks attached between them. One to four seats were commonly attached to the planks. The crude buckboard evolved into the more refined examples that survive today… A buckboard ride is amazingly comfortable because of the spring action of the planks away from the axles. – Charles Morrill 11/04/07. Before the arrival of buckboards a wagon ride was a bumpy affair. In the 1820s, the Abbot Downing Company of Concord, New Hampshire developed a system whereby the bodies of stagecoaches were supported on leather straps called "thoroughbraces", which gave a swinging motion instead of the jolting up and down of a spring suspension (the stagecoach itself was sometimes called a "thoroughbrace") - Wikipedia. “At the four corners of the frame [of a Concord coach] were firmly braced S-shaped iron standards. At the upper ends these connected with the iron “shackles” that held the heavy leather straps, or thorough braces, on which the body of the coach rested.” - “Wagons, Mules and Men: How the Frontier Moved West” by Nick Eggenhofer, published by Hastings House Publishers - 1961 - p. 161. “The invention and perfection of the steel spring brought out a rash of vehicles designed for short-distance travel… In the post-Civil War period especially, spring carriages were produced in mounting proportions, with the buggy and the surrey most popular and numerous and the phaeton a close third; in the West, the buckboard rivaled the buggy in popularity.” - “Wagons, Mules and Men: How the Frontier Moved West” by Nick Eggenhofer, published by Hastings House Publishers - 1961 - p. 131 The buckboard “had a slatted bottom, which acted as a kind of spring, besides having a spring seat.” - “Wagons, Mules and Men: How the Frontier Moved West” by Nick Eggenhofer, published by Hastings House Publishers - 1961 - p. 133 In their heyday, it was not uncommon to see dozens of buckboards parked “at the ready” near resort hotels, train depots and ferry piers. The majority of tourists arrived by steamship and needed transportation once on Mount Desert Island. Buckboards pulled by up to four horses were available for hire at most livery stables. These stables quickly realized transporting groups of as many as twelve tourists around beautiful Mount Desert Island was lucrative business. These horse-drawn tours continued longer here than at most resort communities because cars were banned from Mount Desert Island until 1915.” - “Collection Corner: Bar Harbor Buckboard” by Greg Cuffey - “Down The Lane” Skyline Farm Newsletter, June-September 2006, Accessed online 11/01/07; http://www.skylinefarm.org/newsletter.asp W.H. & H.E. Davis were brothers who took over their father’s business in 1880. They made a specialty of “improved” buckboards. In addition to their workshop in Ellsworth, the Davis brothers had premises in Bar Harbor, a fashionable summer resort.

"Uncle Jimmy bought a 1924 Essex automobile, in about 1926, for $800 from Lyle Newman at Clark's Point and drove it round the Harbor. Reached Manset and his home on Mansell Lane, drove into the driveway, but when he got into the barn he didn't know how to stop it. My father, Chester Stanley, and Aunt Nan, Uncle Jimmy's wife, heard a crash and there was the Essex with the front end out through the end of the barn. The wheels were still spinning and Uncle Jimmy was standing there scratching his head. Jimmy said, "Ches, if you can get her out, she's yourn." My father drove the car until 1936. He sold it for junk during World War II. It drove like a baby carriage - had good springs and a Fisher body." - Ralph Stanley 01/28/08

"GREEN MOUNTAIN - One of the chief points of interest on Mount Desert is Green Mountain, the highest point on the Island. Some ambitious persons make the ascent on foot, and that can best be done by way of the ruins of the old mill near the foot of Mount Kebo, and then by way of the ravine that separates Green from Dry Mountain. But by far the largest number prefer to go by the regular conveyance furnished by the Green Mountain Railway, which is by carriage to Eagle Lake, thence by steamer up the lake to the base, then by railway to the summit. This gives variety to the trip, and renders it a most enjoyable one. A clear, bright morning should be selected for this excursion, when objects can be seen at a great distance. The railway itself is a marvel of engineering skill, the entire length of the road being six thousand three hundred feet, and the grade averaging one foot to every four feet passed over. There is a good hotel at the summit which will accommodate about thirty guests. The view from Green Mountain, on a clear morning, is one never to be forgotten. The coast line with it many sinuosities, the numerous smaller islands scattered here and there, Mount Desert spread out like a map, and the island landscape with its diversity of views, all go to make up a succession of the grandest pictures imaginable…" - "Bar Harbor and Mount Desert Island" by William Berry Lapham, p. 16 - 1887. "GREEN MOUNTAIN RAILWAY. No person should visit Bar Harbor without ascending Green Mountain by way of Eagle Lake and the Green Mountain Railway. The trip to Eagle Lake, three miles, is made in four-horse barges, which call for passengers at the principal hotels every week day morning during the season.
