The Enduring Shore: A History of Cape Cod, Martha's Vineyard, and NantucketMacmillan, 2001 - 384 pages Even before the Pilgrims landed in 1620, Cape Cod and its islands promised paradise to visitors, both native and European. In Paul Schneider's sure hands, the story of this waterland created by glaciers and refined by storms and tides -- and of its varied inhabitants -- becomes an irresistible biography of a place. |
