Cape Cod is more than 300 square miles of beaches, quaint shops, restaurants, and scenic vistas. In the 21st century, sometimes the people and events that shaped this beautiful peninsula can get lost as time pushes forward.

Some stories are well known, while others have flown under the radar. Yet, all of them come together to present a broader view of Cape Cod's significance, far beyond just a summer tourist spot.
Written by author and 12th-generation Cape Codder Christopher Setterlund, this book offers a unique Cape Cod history anthology. It is sure to interest and entertain locals, visitors, and history lovers alike.
