Meet adventurers, tradesmen, mariners, mothers, husbands and children and follow them through adventures great and small. From the founding of the earliest towns to maritime adventures to the homely details of everyday life?all are here, set against the salty backdrop of the Olde Cape Cod we know and love. |
