Everett Uberto Crosby

Born in Worcester, Massachusetts, on April 2, 1871, Everett Uberto Crosby became closely associated with Nantucket, where he was remembered as a historian, author, and active citizen of the island. Sources connected with Nantucket history place him at 28 Orange Street and describe him as the owner of a cranberry bog in Shimmo.

He wrote a number of works centered on Nantucket’s past and material culture. Confirmed titles include Nantucket in Print, "95% Perfect": The Older Residences at Nantucket, and Our Gold Mine; the Dollars Value of the Remaining Oldness of Nantucket Town. The Nantucket Historical Association also describes him as the author of important studies of the island’s history and decorative arts, including Susan’s Teeth and Much About Scrimshaw.

Earlier in his career, Crosby also wrote on fire protection, including Hand-book of Fire Protection for Improved Risks and later Crosby-Fiske-Forster Hand-book of Fire Protection. No suitable verified portrait image was found from the sources checked, so a profile image is not included here.
