Its remote location and stunningly rugged environment make it appealing to a wide variety of people, from fisherfolk and sailors to artists and performers from all over the world. Once serving as the stomping grounds of Benedict Arnold (having gone from traitor to trader), it was later frequented by a young Franklin D. Roosevelt, who became enchanted by its coastal charms. Habituated to facing periods of strife and of runaway success alike, the story of Eastport is one that changes as steadily as its momentous tides.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLura Jackson was raised in Eastport. She became an award-winning community journalist writing for the \u003ci\u003eQuoddy Tides\u003c\/i\u003e and the \u003ci\u003eCalais Advertiser\u003c\/i\u003e and developed a strong passion for local history after becoming involved with the St. Croix Historical Society. She holds a master's degree in peace and reconciliation from the University of Maine. Hugh French, director of the Tides Institute \u0026amp; Museum of Art, provides the foreword, while the institute provided dozens of rare photographs to the book's interior.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 128\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.3 x 9.24 x 6.62 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e May 23, 2022\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42157904658567,"sku":"9781467107457","price":23.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/2623\/2711\/files\/739bdf187b0f1f328f2f67aa251f25f5.webp?v=1733254621","url":"https:\/\/booksby.splitshops.com\/products\/eastport-paperback","provider":"Books by splitShops","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
