Book Description
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. To those who are not able to come, we express the hope that the monthly visit of this magazine may be to them a breath of the salty breezes of the clime from which they are separated by miles of dreary distance.

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.

Book Description
This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1896 edition. Excerpt: ... This lighthouse, known to mariners as the Cape Cod or Highland Light, is one of our "primary seacoast lights," and is usually the first seen by those approaching the entrance of Massachusetts Bay from Europe. It is fortythree miles from Cape Ann Light, and fortyone from Boston Light. It stands about twenty rods from the edge of the bank, which is here formed of clay. I borrowed the plane and square, level and dividers, of a carpenter who was shingling a barn near by, and, using one of those shingles made of a mast, contrived a rude sort of quadrant, with pins for sights and pivots, and got the angle of elevation of the Bank opposite the lighthouse, and with a couple of cod-lines the length of its slope, and so measured its height on the shingle. It rises one hundred and ten feet above its immediate base, or about one hundred and twenty-three feet above mean low water. Graham, who has carefully surveyed the extremity of the Cape, makes it one hundred and thirty feet. The mixed sand and clay lay at an angle of forty degrees with the horizon, where I measured it, but the clay is generally much steeper. No cow nor hen ever gets down it. Half a mile further south the bank is fifteen or twenty-five feet higher, and that appeared to be the highest land in North Truro. Even this vast clay bank is fast wearing away. Small streams of water trickling down it at intervals of two or three rods have left the intermediate clay in the form of steep Gothic roofs fifty feet high or more, the ridges as sharp and rugged-looking as rocks; and in one place the bank is curiously eaten out in the form of a large semicircular crater. According to the lighthouse keeper, the Cape is wasting here on both sides, though most on the eastern. In some places it had lost...
