Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Unused Rainbows: Prayer Meeting Talks There are still living among the islands of the Penobscot Bay, on the coast of Maine, the descendants of the early English and French voyageurs who came to that land of pine trees more than two hundred years ago. They are a simple, quiet folk, who earn a rather hard living by raising a few sheep, catching fish, and digging clams. Their houses are built of the flat stones that are found on the shore, laid up in mortar made from burned clam-shells and beach-sand, and roofed over with poles and matted masses of long seaweed. President Eliot of Harvard College, who has studied these people on their native heath, estimates that one of these Penobscot Bay hermits can support his island home, even when the family is quite large, on a cash outlay of fifty dollars a year. In the past the acquiring of that fifty dollars has not always been an easy nut for the islander to crack.
