| This photo appears on page 66 in Peter Blanchard's book "We Were an Island" but archivists at the Southwest Harbor Pubic Library believe that in the book it is printed backward (flipped horizontally). This is based on a) having scanned the original slide emulsion-side up, which is the correct way on a flatbed scanner and b) noting that the buildings in the background on Great Gott Island look reversed in the book photo. Northwood Kenway loaned the original Agfachrome 35mm slide to the Library for scanning. His daughter Nancy took the picture. |

| 3457 | Homesick For That Place: Ruth Moore Writes About Maine |
|
|
|
|
| The lives of authors Ruth Moore and Eleanor Ruth Mayo were their own, but their private lives and the lives they led on Mount Desert Island, were so intertwined that archivists find it difficult to divide documents, stories and photographs between them. It is for this reason that this Item exists in the database. It ties together other Items that relate more to both women than to either as an individual. “Homesick For That Place: Ruth Moore Writes About Maine” by Jennifer Craig Pixley is so well conceived that it may be recommended to those who are interested in Ruth and Eleanor above many other works, but there is much to be learned from everything included here. |
