Publisher's Note
"Chronicle of an Islander", produced by Edwin B. Athearn, an elder citizen & native of Martha's Vineyard Island, is intended to record some of the events & adventures that took place during the Depression Era of the 1920s through the 30s when Prohibition & "Rum Runners" were a source of excitement. Events in the 1940s & '50s are also highlighted. The book has a total of forty-five chapters containing one hundred ninety-two pages. The series of chapters are in reasonable sequence & range from early youth through the events of World War II. The opening chapter is a genealogical reference to the origin of the Athearn clan on the island, an introduction to the family. The final chapters of the book refer to the transition of wartime prosperity into the rather surprising post-war economic boom that took place in the early 1950's. The subject matter, primarily a series of memories & personal adventures, offers a unique insight into Martha's Vineyard, the renowned east coast vacation retreat. This narrative is enlivened by more specific adventures & incidents that are intended to provide a combination of history & suspense - a variety of unusual circumstances.
