THE CASCO BAY ISLANDS 1850-2000 Images of America by Kimberly E. MacIsaac

The Casco Bay Islands -- romantic, mysterious, a world apart. Native peoples called the bay Auccosisco. Early explorers, believing there were 352 islands in the bay, called them the Calendar Islands. This pictorial history features more than two hundred images that illustrate how the residents of the islands in southern Casco Bay -- Peaks, Cushing, House, the Diamonds, Long, Cliff, Chebeague and Jewell -- have adapted to changing times yet have remained rooted in their traditional lifestyle.
