Book Description
Excerpt from Old Cape Cod: The Land: The Men the Sea But perhaps the ultimate charm of the Cape is that, like a child, it is small enough to be loved. For the native-born, returning here in middle age, there is the delight of coming back to little things that memory had held as stupendous: a dim foreign township that used to be reached in a day's journey with carry all and pair is only five miles distant by the Lower Road; the Great Square proves to be within the swing of an hour's stroll; the a modest mid-vic torian mansion with library and drawing - room that had the remembered vista of Versailles. Yet, in their degree, this charm is free to the stranger. The Cape has a whimsical and endearing smallness: its greatest amplitude can boast but a few miles; and the most tortuous wood road that promised a day's excursion through an uncharted wilderness will soon show you, from some gentle eminence, the true north to be reckoned by the curve of the bay.

Book Description
Excerpt from Cape Cod and the Old Colony The author made his first and long deferred visit to Cape Cod in the summer of 1915. There on the highlands of T ruro, with their superb air, marvelous views and the freedom of untrammeled nature, the Cape cast its spell upon him. Fugitive excursions on the upper parts of the great foreland revealed to him its variety of beauty and its significant history sent him to libraries where loving annalists had written what they knew and felt ab out the land of their fathers.

They are found in large numbers in all the cities of the east, in the west and on the Pacific s10pe.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Pageant of Cape Cod The chief musical motif of the Pageant, the motif of the Life Saver, sounds clear and strong from the full orchestra, -proclaiming the power that conserves all life. As this is still ringing over the waters, there follows in the orchestra the sound of the open sea surging over the world. From one side sweep forward a mass of Ocean Waves, young men and women clad in the colors Of the deep sea water, surging across the Open in successive tidal movements. Then there comes to meet them another mass of waves, the Waters Of the Bay, clad in the lighter colors of the more Shallow coastal waters. The two groups in tidal motion surge up toward each other. As they meet they toss their white scarves into the air like the Spray and the foam of Splashing waves. The tides recede and come together again and again with the surf Splash and the clash of the meeting waves in the dances and in the music.

Book Description
Excerpt from Truro-Cape Cod or Land Marks and Sea Marks Tristram Shandy did not want to shake his credit for veracity by telling an improbable story, however indisputable the facts. We have not ventured into that debatable land between credulity and unbelief. Whatever the quality of our work, whether fish, flesh, or good red herring, we have taken the liberty of telling it honestly and in our own way. Our constant purpose has been to write nothing we should wish unwritten, and to leave unwritten nothing that belongs legitimately to our history. That we have not fully accomplished this purpose would be the most reasonable confession in the world. In every community there is an unconscious force, or sentiment, that lives in a thousand multiform conditions. Seemingly light as gossamer, it is tough as the Tellman shield of seven bull skins. Its intuitions of a good name - of home and kindred, in a described orbit, are among the best of human sensibilities. That the Cape people share quite freely in this sentiment is altogether praiseworthy, but it is a virtue susceptible of abuse and morbidly sensitive. I have aimed to write of them as they were, according to the best history and the best tradition; as they are, according to my own observation and experience.
