Description
Presents Henry David Thoreau's account of Cape Cod. This title focuses on his encounters with the ocean, from the fatal shipwreck of the opening episode to the late reflections on the Pilgrims' Cape Cod landing and reconnaissance. It relates the experiences of fishermen and oystermen, farmers and salvagers, lighthouse-keepers and ship-captains.
Reviews
"Cape Cod is Thoreau's sunniest, happiest book. It bubbles over with jokes, puns, tall tales, and genial good humor... Unquestionably the best book that has ever been written about Cape Cod, and it is the model to which all new books about the Cape are still compared."--Walter Harding, The Days of Henry Thoreau
