I was very surprised, but it was a very different time.

Really don't want this thread to get off the poster's request for History of Mark Island.

I'm usually pretty good, (Not McDude good ) but I haven't been able to find much history on Mark Is..

Little bits here from "Three Centuries on Winnipesaukee"

http://www.lwhs.us/steam-earlysteamboats.htm

and a little in chapter 5 of Bruce Healds "Lake Winnipesaukee"
