From the Preface: "As the summer of 1888 drew near, some young friends put their heads together to arrange a pleasant trip, and realizing that it is not good for man (and consequently woman) to be alone, they decided to take pity on a few of the sons of Adam, of George Fox persuasion, inviting them to join in an excursion to Mt. Desert; for which said sons of Adam desire to express their true and lasting gratitude." From the estate of John Welsh Drayton and Cynthia Whitney Drayton. Donated to the Library by Mr. Whitney Drayton. |
