A memoir written by Robert Cable, a businessman from Sayville, New York who built a cottage on Fire Island to escape the hustle and bustle of town life. In the book "Cherry Grove, Fire Island: Sixty Years in America's First Gay and Lesbian Town" by Esther Newton it is mentioned that Robert Cable dictated a memoir in 1933. This appears to be that memoir, which was finally published in 1968 in "The Robert Cable Family Genealogy" under the title "Sandy Tales." The writing is detailed and tells of life on Fire Island before much of it was developed. Cable built his cottage around 1911 along the sand dunes of Cherry Hill in the Cherry Grove area of Fire Island. He also mentions "the Pavilion" which was likely the pavilion of the old Perkinson Hotel in Cherry Grove (owned and operated by many families after the Perkinson's left the Island). Cable's memoir touches on the flora and fauna of Fire Island, local characters, seasonal changes, and provides fun anecdotes and poetry. The images he included depict the seashore, his cottage, and locals picnicking, hunting, fishing for eels and showing off whale bones. The conclusion of the book takes on a rather more serious tone. Cable hopes that the undeveloped areas of Fire Island would be protected, stating "what a blessing it would be to preserve parts of this primeval beach for the people of our state, and I have in mind 'the Sunken Forest' near Point O'Woods and the thicket at Lone Hill. There is plenty of room on the sandy stretches for cottages and colonies, but to destroy these primeval thickets would be nothing short of calamity.".

Zustand des Schutzumschlags: dj. First Edition. First edition of this collection of stories themed around the values of the Girl Guides/Girl Scouts, in the rare original dust jacket. From stories of shipwreck survival to silly rhymes about an underwater dinner party, THE SECOND TRAIL annual was full of entertainment for 1920s Girl Guides (known stateside as Girl Scouts). Sir Robert Baden-Powell, founder of the Boy Scouts and Girl Guides, penned and illustrated one of the 16 stories in this collection, inspired by his time in Africa as an officer in the British Army (with its attendant colonial stereotyping). This copy of THE SECOND TRAIL, already difficult to find in the original dust jacket, is especially well preserved and lovely. 9.25'' x 6.25''. Original blue pictorial cloth binding. Original unpriced color pictorial dust jacket. Color portrait of the Duchess of York tipped onto grey paper facing Foreword; illustrated in black and white throughout. 282 pages. Jacket with some foxing to spine and extremities, light edgewear; offsetting from binding to verso. Binding with a bit of bumping to corners and spine ends, fore-edge with light foxing. Clean and bright. Very good plus in very good dust jacket.
