Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Pageant of Cape Cod The Pageant of Cape Cod Foreword The Pageant of Cape Cod is one of a series of Pageants of the New Country Life, the others being Thetford, Vermont, 1911; St. Johnsbury, Vermont, 1912; Meriden, New Hampshire, 1913; and Darien, Connecticut, 1913. The present pageant is an attempt to mirror and to stimulate the unification of this far-flung community of many towns as it rises to meet the exceptionally great possibilities of the near future. The Pageant of Cape Cod is a magnificent out-door presentation of the drama that lies in the history and life of this community from the time of the landing of Bartholomew Gosnold and the naming of the Cape in 1602. It leads up through a comprehensive view of the development of the Cape during the past three hundred years to a vision of its future. This is based on beginnings already made for the further development of the resources of the Cape under the guidance of the Massachusetts Agricultural College and the United States Department of Agriculture. The effort has been to work out the Pageant in thorough harmony with the spirit, the purposes and the methods of these institutions. The proceeds of the Pageant will be placed in the hands of the Cape Cod Board of Trade, for use in this development work with the ultimate purpose of making Cape Cod the most unanimous, the most prosperous and the most progressive community in the East. The Pageant-Drama consists of fifteen scenes on land and water, in which all the arts are used to produce a varied but clearly unified, community drama. It has been written on the principle that dramatically, musically and visually, the Pageant is a distinct and individual art-form, and not merely a series of historic episodes illuminated by incidental music and accidental beauty. The Pageant Grounds are on the banks of the Cape Cod Canal at the south side of the Bourne Bridge. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Discourse: Pronounced at Barnstable on the Third of September, 1839, at the Celebration of the Second Centennial Anniversary of the Settlement of Cape Cod This great concourse bears witness at once to the inherent interest of the occasion which has invited it, and declares that there is no insensibility to that interest on the part of those, to whom belongs the precious joint inheritance of the good name of a brave and godly ancestry. We are no such unworthy sons of worthy fathers, that we could be content to have this day see us anywhere but by the gentis cunabula nostrw, the cradle of the now wide-spread race, or to have it see us assembled here only as cold spectators of a pompous pageant. No; I am sure, that I only express the thought, which is uppermost in every bosom that claims an hereditary share in this day's commemoration, when I say for myself, that no earthly bribe would tempt me to resign the knowl edge, if it could be resigned, that I belong to the lin eage of those staunch and true men, who sowed the seeds of that harvest, which two centuries have been ripening in this excellently productive region of Cape Cod. Productive, I make free to call it. Unprom ising, penurious, it may look upon the surface. Largely bountiful, however, it has proved itself in the best abundance, that of sense and virtue.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Tobias O the Light: A Story of Cape Cod Old Winter wrapped in his grave clothes stalked the flats and sand dunes about the Twin Rocks Light. Spring had smiled at the grim old fellow only the day before. She would flutter back again anon to dry the longshore wastes and warm to life the scant herbage that tries its best to clothe the Cape Cod barrens. But now the wind blew and the sleet charged against the staff of the lighthouse, masking thickly the glass that defended the huge Argand lamp. Its steady ray filtered through this curtain with difficulty. Tobias Bassett pulled on his oilskins and buckled down the sou'wester over his ears preparatory to venturing upon the high gallery to scrape the clinging snow from the glass.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from 1812: A Tale of Cape Cod In this story of Cape Cod during the War of 1812 the author has essayed to give an accurate picture of some of the trials which the harassed inhabitants endured under the guns of the British warships. The plight of Eastham in those days was that of many other towns on the Cape. The seafaring population of the district was utterly at the mercy of the enemy and all trade was at a stand still in consequence of the embargo on commerce. Deserted by the National and State governments, the sturdy people bore their sufferings with heroic fortitude and stubbornly resisted the invasion of their Shores, now meeting the arrogant foe in deadly combat and driving him to his boats, and again, successfully matching their wits against his might, capitulating only when further resistance appeared useless.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from From Cape Cod to Dixie and the Tropics These sketches of travel were written before the breaking out of the present rebellion in the Southern States; but as, on the occurrence of this event, letters very properly yielded to arms, they were withheld from publication. Now, however, when the public mind is turning to books for momentary relief from the long-drawn story of battles and campaigns, it may not be ill-timed to give to the press an account of a pleasure journey, made, in part, through the Southern States; and a portion of which may serve as a memento of the happy days - not soon to return, I fear - when there existed between the inhabitants of the Northern and Southern sections of the country a free interchange of services and hospitalities.

Download or read book Cape Cod and All Along Shore Stories written by Charles Nordhoff and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-12 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Cape Cod and All Along Shore Stories: Stories The stories collected in this volume have been printed at different times in Harper's Magazine, except one which appeared in the Atlantic Monthly. Collections of stories like this, I have noticed, are commonly pub lished at the earnest solicitation of friends, or to gratify the desires of an amiable but undiscriminating public. To prevent misunderstanding in the present case, it is perhaps well to say that the public is g'uiltless in respect to this volume, and that no fond friend has ever expressed even a willingness to have my stories assume this more enduring form - except the publishers, who, it will be readily believed, have no especial desire to see the book permanently on their shelves. I have noticed that it is customary with writers, when they collect their shorter tales, to set them into one gen eral story, which serves as a frame-work to the smallpieces, and furnishes a name for the volume, such as the Queen of Hearts of Mr. Wilkie Collins, and Miss Edwards's Miss Carew. In this way a story writer gives his collection the appearance, at first sight, of what is call ed a novel. It naturally occurred to me to follow this fash ion, which has the advantage of deceiving purchasers, who buy what they imagine from the title and chapter heads to be a novel, and do not discover, until they get home, that what they took to be a fat chicken is only a small basket full of stale eggs. But I refrained, for two reasons: lst., I think it wrong to practice such a cheat upon an unoffe'nding and confiding public; and, 2dly., I tried in vain to invent a tale which should serve me as such a frame-work; and had at last to give it up, for lack of ingenuity.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Cape Cod, Vol. 1 of 2 Cape Cod is the bared and bended arm of Massachusetts the shoulder is at Buzzard' 5 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 oor 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.
