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 helped to create and define this beautiful peninsula can get lost as the sands of time continue to push forward. In little more than 400 years, Cape Cod went from a tree-covered spit to a worldwide destination. In between, there have been countless memorable residents and stories. From explorers to true crime. From discoveries to destruction. Entertainment meccas, legendary restaurants, famous faces, and unsung heroes, all are remembered and revisited inside this book. Some of these stories are well known, and some have flown under the radar. However, they all come together to give the reader a more well-rounded scope of the importance of Cape Cod, far beyond a summer tourist destination.
