worked on Nantucket for some 20 years, and Crosby was one of the 
island's most diligent historians. This was an attempt to document all 
the paintings and sketches Johnson made of the island. Everett Umberto 
Crosby was a longtime Nantucket historian and the author of half a dozen 
or more books and pamphlets about the art and history of the island. a 
director of the Nantucket Foundation, in 1945 he helped to found and 
organize the Artists Association of Nantucket.
