Frances Ruley Karttunen Livres

The history of Nantucket is not just about whaling, but it includes bawdy houses, knife fights, marauding gangs of miscreants, and buckets and buckets of rum-all cheek by jowl with plain and sober Quakers. In a series of stories about real people, Frances Ruley Karttunen's new book brings to life events and colorful characters from Nantucket's past.

The second in a series of walking/biking guides to the Town of Nantucket. This one visits fifteen locations south of Main Street and introduces one or more people associated with each place. There is a map on the back cover with numbers corresponding to the chapters.
