The text by Ralph Graves is serviceable, but no more than that. It's distilled -- as Graves notes at the outset -- from existing sources, and bears the mark of those origins. It adds no new insights into the history of the Vineyard, and Graves' attempts to connect the dots between the bits and pieces of that history that he's chosen to highlight often lead him to conclusions at odds with reality. The best parts of the text are a series of two-page spreads in which he reprints, in narrative form, the text of conversations with long-time Vineyarders like long-time Chappaquiddick resident Edo Potter and Menemsha fish-market owner Everett Poole.
