Excerpt from Boggy Solitudes of Nantucket
It is not surprising to learn that a hundred years ago the Frenchman, Marsillac, plunged into these swamps to discover their treasures heedless Of the delicate silk stockings he wore; or that Dr. Asa Gray, our greatest botanist, should say he was not astonished at anything found growing in Nantucket.
The whole island is a veritable garden spot. One has only to go on the moors to appreciate the truth Of this statement. Flower succeeds ¿ower, springing up from the sandy soil and moss, in greatest luxuriance and profusion, beginning with the tiny hepatica and blue ¿ash Of the violet in the spring to the showy golden-rod and imperial aster Of the fall.
