Pierpont Morgan, continue to summer on the island. The traveling 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.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\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.","brand":"Officina Libraria","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48688120922367,"sku":"9788833674001","price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/9788833674001_s600x595.jpg?v=1781544790","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/products\/9788833674001","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
