{"product_id":"9781493092796","title":"We Are Nantucket","description":"\u003cp\u003eWe Are Nantucket is a collection of thirty-three oral history interviews covering almost a century of different experiences on Nantucket. While many of the people interviewed are natives of Nantucket and have lived on the Island all their lives, a few trace their roots to the original settlers, some came as small children with their parents, others came to work and live, and some have been summer residents for decades. All love the Island and each has enjoyed a special intimacy with the community. Taken together, they reflect the character of Nantucket.   Common themes of a hearty work ethic, Yankee thriftiness and simplicity, and a value for family and community run throughout the histories. This collection of interviews preserves these memories and some of the stories of what life on this special Island was like. The Nantucket experiences of these individuals reflect the richness of the variety of people who have formed the character of the Island in the past and present, and represent an important aspect of Nantucket's remarkable legacy.   Interviewees include:    Eileen P. McGrath   Francis \"Frannie\" Pease   William Allen   Alice Graves Dejonge   Nancy Chase   Martha Holdgate Butler   Manny Dias   Mrs. Ripley Nelson   Ruth Chapel Grieder   Walter Beinecke\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"GLOBE PEQUOT","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47858561679412,"sku":"9781493092796","price":49.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0651\/9390\/2132\/files\/9781493092796.jpg?v=1780355660","url":"https:\/\/woodslane.com.au\/products\/9781493092796","provider":"Woodslane","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
