- Description:
- From the author: Being the only one left of the Laighton family at the Isles of Shoals, I have been urged by the many visitors here every summer, to write what I can remember of my life covering ninety years on these islands. There is undoubtedly good material for a story in the rather unusual history of our family on these wave-swept isles. Unfortunately, the events are dimmed by the mists of years and still further blurred by my unsteady hand, and I fear the reading will not be as interesting as the events warrant. The only merit to my modest yarn is that it is a true story. Possibly this may make it of some interest to lovers of these beautiful islands. With this thought, I have ventured to write this memoir, clinging to the hope that those who may have the courage to read it will fid it in their hearts to forgive. - Oscar Laighton
