This first group of summer visitors was a distinguished company and hailed primarily from New York, Hartford and Boston.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAfter 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":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57555372769653,"sku":"9788833674001","price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9788833674001.jpg?v=1788791315","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/the-tracy-log-book","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
