FOREWORD
These essays—thumbnail sketches of Cape Cod—should not be taken as a serious attempt to describe the Cape or to delineate its people. They merely express a perennial enthusiasm for this summer holiday land, to-day the playground of thousands of Americans, three hundred years ago the first “land of the free and home of the brave.”
Acknowledgments are here given to theAtlantic Monthlyfor permission to include “A By-Product of Conservation” and “Scallops,” toThe Outlookfor the same courtesy for “A Blue Streak,” and toThe House Beautifulfor “A Casual Dwelling-Place.”
