A COLLECTION OF ISLAND HISTORY

On resort islands where the average length of stay can bi measured in weeks or months, the word -.v. "permanent" sounds strangely obsolete. It wasn't always that way .on the shell islands. Homesteaders and early residents put down firm roots in the sandy soil of Sanibel-Captiva: Some spent their lives here and raised children who, in turn, spent their lives here. Death has claimed many of tke islands' "permanent people." But the buildings they erected —from, the Sanibel lighthouse to the stately frame homes of Captiva — still remain intact as monuments to a way of life that seems beseiged today by change and impermanence. /Iccpinc This special supplement of Island Scrapbook articles, the third such supplement sponsored by Bank of everything in sleep furniture the Islands, examines a few of those monuments: The Rutland home; the lighthouse and keeper's quarters; and Sanibel's enigmatic steamboat. But more important than the structures are the people who set out to build something that would last. Something permanent.
