Ninety Years At The Isles Of Shoals is a non-fiction book written by Oscar Laighton. The book is a memoir of Laighton's life on the Isles of Shoals, a group of small islands off the coast of New Hampshire and Maine. Laighton spent his entire life on the islands, which were known for their fishing and tourism industries. The book is divided into chapters that cover different periods in Laighton's life, from his childhood on the islands to his experiences as an adult. He describes the natural beauty of the islands, the challenges of living in a remote location, and the unique culture of the people who lived there. Laighton also shares stories of the famous visitors who came to the islands, including artists, writers, and politicians. He discusses the impact of World War II on the islands and the changes that occurred as a result of modernization and tourism. Throughout the book, Laighton reflects on his own life and the lessons he learned from his experiences on the islands. He provides a detailed and personal account of a way of life that has now largely disappeared. Ninety Years At The Isles Of Shoals is a fascinating and engaging memoir that offers a unique perspective on a little-known part of American history.
