I love Bar Harbor Maine. Mix in history and I’m sold. This book needed more. I struggled through a lot of it and it had a very hard time keeping my interest.

I don't want to be too grouchy about this, as it's clearly a labor of love for the author and he did do a pretty good job. But, truly, this is not a history of Bar Harbor so much as it's a history of the author's family in Bar Harbor. More specifically, his grandfather, around whom the vast majority of these stories revolve. I think there was more to talk about than was covered here, but this is a decent addition to the local history options.
