Eagle Island

I think, for many authors, one of the most interesting and rewarding things is the research. In her research for The Snow Baby, Katherine Kirkpatrick visited Eagle Island in Casco Bay, Maine, where the Peary's summer home was built in 1904. Robert E. Peary called Eagle Island his "Promised Land," according to Kirkpatrick. The following are photos of Eagle Island from Kirkpatrick's visit:
