Southeast of Boston is a most scenic coastline. With 70 splendid photos in color by local pilots/photographers, this book covers Scituate's beaches, oceansides, rivers, islands, marshes, and harbors.
This is the first scenic survey of Scituate's fascinating seacoast. The book describes the views and their centuries-long histories. The book's cover, for example, shows Scituate Harbor and its iconic Scituate Light, built in 1811. The book adds historical maps for context.
Seacoast Scituate By Air is the latest book from historian Lyle Nyberg, author of Summer Suffragists (2020) and On a Cliff (2021). His work is published in the state's database of historic resources, and has appeared in magazines and newspapers.
All three authors live in Scituate and enjoy its beautiful seacoast. Gary and Bill provided an aerial photo for the cover of Lyle's book On a Cliff. Gary Banks, former USAF pilot and retired American Airlines Captain, wrote and published Trysting Pasture and Other Musings (2013), available at Scituate Historical Society, 43 Cudworth Rd., Scituate, MA 02066. Bill Richardson, Airport Planner and Site Designer, graduated from the Rhode Island School of Design, and is a former chairman of the Scituate Conservation Commission. He has been flying and taking photos for more than five decades.
