Richardson, Paul

'This report was written by Paul S. Richardson, a direct descendent of the first non-native settler of Mount Desert Island, Maine. This individual has been involved in town politics of every form for 49 years of his life and has put together this report as a documentary of the wealth of knowledge that he and his ancestors had accumulated about the creation and growth of Acadia National Park. This report provides not only personal information but a background derived from thorough research of various types of historical documentation for development and other historically relevant occurrences on the island. The document provides a series of historical photographs, sketches, and other artistic renditions of places, bridges, and people from Mount Desert Island. ' /STUDY LOCATIONS:/ /MOUNT DESERT ISLAND/
