August 14, 1898 [LAH]: “ The new golf links that are just being finished are fine, and those who play this old but ever new game like the difficult hazards and the long drives and lifts that are found on these links. Swenson, the island photographer, has just finished a panoramic view of the links, and it is a beauty. The photograph is over three feet long and is made up of numerous plates carefully joined together.”
