{"product_id":"9788833674001","title":"The Tracy Log Book : A month in Summer - 1855. Charles Tracy, Frederic Church and The First Rusticators on Mount Desert Island - Anne Mazlish","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Tracy diary offers us the unique opportunity to accompany 27 nineteenth century travellers on an adventure of a lifetime, exploring Mount Desert Island, Maine, in August of 1855. This first group of summer visitors was a distinguished company and hailed primarily from New York, Hartford and Boston. In addition to Charles Tracy, a prominent New York lawyer, whose descendants through his son, Charles, daughter, Francis, and son-in-law, J. Pierpont Morgan, continue to summer on the island. The travelling party also included Frederic Edwin Church, a leading Hudson River School artist, and his friend, Theodore Winthrop, who died gallantly in the opening battle of the Civil War and then became posthumously famous as a novelist. After more than 170 years, Church's playful sketches have been reunited with the first-hand account penned by Tracy, whose words strike a familiar chord in the memory of all who return again and again to the beauty and variety of Mount Desert Island.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Anne Mazlish","offers":[{"title":"192 pages, 20 Illustrations, black and white; 60 Illustrations, color \/ 13\/07\/2026 \/ Biography: historical, political \u0026 military","offer_id":57208934596983,"sku":"9788833674001","price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0682\/9454\/1624\/files\/9788833674001.jpg?v=1782130203","url":"https:\/\/gulpfictionbooks.com\/products\/9788833674001","provider":"Gulp Fiction","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
