r NANTUCKET
A Little Fishhook of History
American vacationers looking for a glimpse of the past with
out a trip to a foreign country this summer can find it just 10
miles olf the New England coast- ,on Nantucket Island.
A little fishhook of land. 15
miles long and five miles wide.
Nantucket is a much treasured
part of the Commonwealth of
Massachusetts.
Once visitors set foot on the
island, they arc swept back into
the past along liny narrow streets
lined with silver gray shingled
cottages, much like the Hnglish
villages from which the island's
early settlers came. Or. in con
trast. they tread the cobblestones
of the town's Main Street where
the wealthy whale oil merchants
displayed their 19th Century af
fluence by building elegant Georg
ian and Greek revival mansions
(two of which are shown here).
With rare exception. Nantuc
ket's late 18th and 19th Century
houses are lived in by year-around
as well as summer residents. In
this respect the town's preserva
tion efforts represent a "living"
tribute to its heritage.
In this jet age. it seems hard to
believe that so much of our heri
tage could have been preserved
so clone (o the mainland. Yet the
inland is within easy reach by
boat, car and ferry, or plane.
Originally an Indian Settlement.
Nantucket was occupied by its
first group of white settlers in
1659. Peter Folgcr. the Island's
first settler, became the grand
father of Benjamin Franklin. By
the IB4o's it was known around
the world as a thriving whaling
center, and rich evidence of that
magnetic period is still to he seen.
After exploring the unchanged
world of yesterday, the Nantucket
visitor is offered many favorite
vacation pastimes. Miles of white
sand beaches arc washed by the
warmest swimming waters this
side of the Gulf of Mexico. There
arc ideal waters for sailing and
salt water fishing, too.
Golf courses carved out of the
rolling moors overlooking the sea
arc said to closely resemble the
original "golf links" of Scotland.
Nantucket accommodations fit
all tastes and pocketbooks—from
$5 a night for pension type rooms,
and from S9O weekly for house

was held in a treeshaded
glade not far from the grave

Evers, the latepresident'a
brother said, "laid down hia
life for the white people of
the United States to show
them the way" in the civil
rights struggle.
Mitchell, director of the
NAACP Washington Bureau,
recalled the "slave revolts,
vigorous self-defense against
physical attack and unrelent*
ing use of all constitutional
weapons to wage war against
second class citzenship. Med"
gar Evers was a part of this
heritage. He did not need
television cameras and the
Department of justice before
he would assert his rights."
Speaking for the Jackson,

cited progress made in race
relations in his home city
since the slaying of the NAA
