In this fascinating work of local history, Rowe seeks to resurrect the stories of the many colorful characters who once called Yarmouth, Massachusetts home. From sea captains to farmers, from entrepreneurs to artists, Yarmouth was home to a diverse array of personalities over the course of several centuries. Using primary source materials such as letters, diaries, and newspaper articles, Rowe brings these figures to life and provides valuable insights into life on Cape Cod in the 19th and early 20th centuries.
