Vineyard Sound Books is proud to announce the soon to be released, 2nd edition, of Kathleen Ryan Comiskey Robert's book titled Secrets of Old Dartmouth. This history-packed book, originally published in 1963, tells the story of how life was in early Dartmouth, dating back to before the town's founding in 1664. At that time, colonial "Old Dartmouth" included the land that is now the towns of Dartmouth, Westport, Fairhaven, Acushnet, and the City of New Bedford. Ms. Robert's interesting account of life in "Old Dartmouth" is educational/historical, and sheds light on the struggles that the early colonists had to endure, as they sought to build a life in their new homeland.The book is filled with historical tales of how the Native Americans lived and interacted with their strange new neighbors, who landed upon their shores in large wooden sailing ships.
This book of local history has been used by generations of Dartmouth elementary school students. The newly revised, hard-covered edition, will educate the children of the Dartmouth Public Schools, and others, for years to come. A portion of the proceeds from book sales will be used to assist the DEF (Dartmouth Educational Foundation) with their mission of enhancing the education of Dartmouth's youth.
