Excerpt from Cape Cod, Vol. 1 of 2 Cape Cod is the bared and bended arm of Massachusetts the shoulder is at Buzzard' 3 Bay; the elbow, or crazy-bone, at Cape Malle barre; the wrist at Truro; and the sandy fist at Provincetown, behind which the State stands on her guard, with her back to the Green Mountains, and her feet planted on the floor of the ocean, like an athlete protecting her Bay, boxing with northeast storms, and, ever and anon, heaving up her Atlantic adversary from the lap of earth, ready to thrust forward her other fist, which keeps guard the while upon her breast at Cape Ann. On studying the map, I saw that there must be an uninterrupted beach on the east or outside of the forearm of the Cape, more than thirty miles from the general line of the coast, which would afford a good sea view, but that, on ao count of an opening in the beach, forming the entrance to Nauset Harbor, in Orleans, I must strike it in Eastham, if I approached it by land, and probably I could walk thence straight to Race Point, about twenty-eight miles, and not meet with any obstruction.

Excerpt from Cape Cod, Vol. 2 of 2 Of birds not found in the interior of the State, - at least in my neighborhood, I heard, in the summer, -the Black-throated Bunt ing (fringilla Americana) amid the shrub bery, and in the open land the Upland Plover (tetanus Bartramias), whose quivering notes were ever and anon prolonged into a clear, somewhat plaintive, yet hawk like scream, which sounded at a very indefinite distance. The bird may have been in the next field, though it sounded a mile off. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Cape Cod Magazine, Vol. 2: January, 1917 To those exiles from the Cape, living their lives in distant regions, may they be able to return to their native soil and renew their acquaint ance with the friends of their youth.

Excerpt from History of Cape Cod, Vol. 2: The Annals of the Thirteen Towns of Barnstable County Dr. Johnson, the great lexicographer, has de fined one of his vocation, a writer of diction aries a harmless drudge that busies himself in tracing the original and detailing the significa tion of words: we sympathize with him in the feeling that prompted the self-pitying and self humiliating soliloquy. We do not expect either the present or coming generations to appro hend fully the pains which our undertaking costs. The work accomplished, future explorers will profit by our toils. They will have at least some faint landmarks by which to direct their own course, and possibly may detect some omis sions and supply deficiencies, some errors and correct them; the initiate toil they will happily have avoided, and can, therefore, never know the perplexities that attended it.

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.

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.
