Martha's Vineyard in the Roaring Twenties

Radicals & Rascals

Beschreibung

The Roaring Twenties were filled with a range of events, experiences, fears, laws and advances that impacted Martha's Vineyard. Island residents were involved in rumrunning. Dozens died of the Spanish Flu. Women voted on Island. Dorothy West joined the Harlem Renaissance. Immigration from the Azores slowed, and airplanes landed in Katama. Tourism blossomed and business boomed. Local author Thomas Dresser shares the back story and the import of this remarkable decade and how it has shaped Vineyarders.

Autor

Thomas Dresser lives on Martha's Vineyard, and this is his fifteenth book for The History Press about the island. He recently turned seventy-five and is happily ensconced with his wife, Joyce, and their miniature Schnauzer, Kutter, enjoying life on the Vineyard.
