Traditional Uses of Fish Houses on Mount Desert Island and in Otter Cove
Smythe CW. 2008. Traditional Uses of Fish Houses on Mount Desert Island and in Otter Cove. National Park Service. Bar Harbor, ME
Following from abstract: "This report presents the results of ethnohistorical research about the customary and traditional uses and practices associated with fish houses in Otter Cove (Mt. Desert Island, Maine) in the late 19th and 20th centuries. Due to the absense of historical records on this topic, this study relies heavily on information provided in oral history interviews with knowledgeable local experts. While the study is focused on Otter Cove, an area within Acadia National Park, it draws on information about the use and fuction of fish houses throughout Mt. Desert Island and in adjoining coastal regions of Maine. A more in-depth research project on the ethnohistory of fishing and fish houses in Otter Cove will be carried out starting in late 2008." /STUDY LOCATIONS:/ /MOUNT DESERT ISLAND/Otter Cove/
