Title: Morning Was Starlight: my Maine boyhood.
Description: Chester, CT, Globe Pequot Press, (1980). 1st ed. VG PB. Internationally known museum curator and marine historian recollects his youth on the Maine coast during the last days of. the coasting schooner and self-sufficient family. Following the change of seasons he tells of the planting, fishing, hunting, loggings, children's games and winter blizzards, the distant one-room schoolhouse. "When my generation goes there will be no more direct knowledge of that life than of life in medieval England." Wiggins says, "There was something climactic about the first decades of the 20th century, especially for relatively isolated places like this neighborhood in Down East Maine.".
