Biography
Rand - Edward Sprague Rand III (1834-1897)
aka Edward Sprague Rand Jr. - although actually III
aka E.S. Rand Jr.
Edward Sprague Rand, lawyer, botanist, author and father to Henry Lathrop Rand and his brother
Edward Lothrop Rand, all summered on Mount Desert Island and, each in his own way, left an
important legacy there. Edward Sr.'s horticultural passion led him to fame and disgrace in the
United States, but his fame continued for many years after his exile to Brazil. Present day
archivists wonder if he would be diagnosed as bi-polar in the 21st Century. His sons shared his
passion for the country and botany, each in his own way, and, each in his own way, is
remembered on the island in the 21st century.
Note: Henry spelled Lathrop with an "a" and Edward spelled it with an "o."
