The towns were small; the industries were fishing, whaling, shipping

Strother wrote a set of 5 articles for Harpers in
1860, set in New
Haven, Martha's Vineyard, Nantucket, Massachusetts' South Shore, and
White Mountains. This is the Martha's Vineyard piece. The
author
strolls around, gathers local tales and historical bits, goes fishing.
His attitude toward everyone is somewhat condescending, and toward the
aboriginals is blatantly racist. But you get a feel for the land, the
time, the people.

Nantucket
was way past its
whaling heyday, becoming a quiet tourist town. A large fraction of the
men had caught California fever, and left. The retired and semi-retired
captains tell tales. Again, you get a feel for the land, time, and
people; especially since the author goes to Boston at the end, and
contrasts the steady quiet Quaker Nantuckoise to the ostentatious,
loud, bustling city (and even at that finds Boston staid compared to
New York.) Nice illustratiions.

Dr Thomas Newcomb Stone (1818-1876) was a Wellfleet

major figure in town for decades. The author's introduction says that
the contents are "rhymes," not "poems" - diversions of a busy
physician's spare minutes, not serious literature by a professional
poet. I'm not much of a judge, and he was being self-deprecating to
forestall the critics, but I don't think he's an overlooked genius. But
they're nice, and topical, so I've copied two of his poems from the

my
review
An educated and wealthy young woman from the
vicinity of
New York applies for and accepts the position of school-mistress at the
fictional hamlet of Wallencamp. The Cape Codders are colorful, happily
ignorant, mostly quite pious, and desperately poor. The teacher learns
about the monotony of seasonal food, about the lives and deaths of poor
people, about how to work practically and teach in a one-room school,
and about the social conventions of visiting and church. She brings
education, gentility and books. It could have been set nearly
anywhere; there's little identifiably Cape Cod about the setting,
people or dialog. But it was a success, reprinted several times and
performed on stage. The author was even successfully sued for libel.

" In this country of 50,000,000
inhabitants, half, or 25,000,000, may be said to belong to what some
one has forcibly termed the 'dead-bird wearing gender,' of whom at
least 10,000,000 are not only of the bird-wearing age, but — judging
from what we see on our streets, in public assemblies and public
conveyances — also of bird-wearing proclivities. Different individuals
of this class vary greatly in their ideas of style and quantity in the
way of what constitutes a proper decoration for that part of the person
the Indian delights to ornament with plumes of various kinds of wild
fowl. Some are content with a single bird, if a large one, mounted
nearly entire : others prefer several small ones, — a group of three or
four to half a dozen ; or the heads and wings of even a greater number.
Others, still, will content themselves with a few wings fancifully dyed
and bespangled, or a wreath of grebe 'fur,' usually dyed, and not
unfrequently set off with egret-plumes. In the average, however, there
must be an incongruous assemblage made up of parts of various birds, or
several entire birds, representing at least a number of individuals. "

the
1865 edition, comments
This is a mystery
and romance,
set in
"Sandowne," which
stands in for Sandwich. The time is perhaps 1830-1840 for the main
events. Chamberlain was born and lived in that area, so I'll assume his
settings are accurate. The town is quiet, stagnant even. The old
Puritan spirit survives weakly in the habits and memories of its
citizens. The tavern is the likely road to ruin for its frequenters,
who will end up in the poor-house. A forest fire threatens to run
through miles of woodlots. There was a community Cranberry Day, when
everyone picked the berries on town lands. The May militia muster is
Search Day, where most of the men are required to attend with their
weapons, gear and uniforms for inspection and parade — the men are
utterly undisciplined, their weapons a motley collection, and their
gear sub-standard. The setting is interesting, but the characters and
plot are not. And the novelist was a minister, so there is page after
page of tedious philosophy and religion, masking a feeble Gothic tale.
Sandwich
and

Chamberlain. 1889.
New England Magazine 7 (3): 301-313
1889 was the 250th anniversary of the founding of
Sandwich and Yarmouth
(and Barnstable). Chamberlain brags about the difficulties overcome by
the Pilgrims, discusses the persecution of Quakers, honors the Indian
missionaries Bourne, Treat, and Tupper, notes that a party of 90
Acadians was stopped at Sandwich in1756 (apparently trying to sail home
to Nova Scotia from Rhode Island), brags about Revolutionary spirit,
notes the substantial consumption of bottled spirits, and notes (as do
many writers) the life-long desire of far-traveled Cape Codders to
return to their sand spit. The pictures seem uninteresting, as seen
thru MOA. MOA

my
review
There are some interesting points about
this novel: it
is one of the oldest novels set on Cape Cod, and the author and main
characters are women, but overall it's a thin romance. The protagonists
are 2 young women: Amabel and the diarest, from somewhere on the
Massachusetts South Shore. They buy horses at auction in Boston - a
scary, exciting experience for young ladies. Then they ride from home
to Cape Cod, all the way to Provincetown, just for the adventure - they
could easily have taken the train, or a steamer, or even bicycles.

Remarkably to me, there are still readily
observable precolonial or colonial era Indian corn fields at several
places in Massachusetts. The Indian practice was to "hill" the corn,
hoeing up soil around the stalks, resulting in "mammiform"
hillocks regularly spaced across the fields. They apparently survived
when the land was used mostly for pasturage later.

Authors: Dean R. Snow; Kim M. Lanphear

Abstract: In order to estimate prehistoric Indian population sizes in
the New World, it is first necessary to gain a better understanding of
the demographic effects of European-introduced
diseases. To that end we have reexamined the timing of the first
introduction of these diseases into
one region, the Northeast. A careful reexamination of the ethnohistoric
record combined with a study of the
history and process of smallpox has lead us to conclude that this and
other such diseases did not enter the
Northeast until the seventeenth century, long after the well-documented
initial epidemics of the Caribbean and
Mexico. Reasons for the lag are suggested.

Title: Development of a New England Salt Marsh
Author: Alfred C. Redfield
Source: Ecological Monographs, Vol. 42, No. 2. (Spring, 1972), pp.
201-237.
Abstract: The salt marsh at Barnstable, Massachusetts, occupies an
embayment into which it has spread during the past 4,000 years. It
exhibits all stages of development from the seeding of bare
sand flats through the development of intertidal marsh to the formation
of mature high marsh underlain by
peat deposits more than 20 ft deep. Observations and measurements of
the stages of its formation are
presented. The geomorphology of the marsh is considered in relation to
the factors which have influenced its
development, i.e., the ability of halophytes to grow at limited tide
levels, the tidal regime, the
processes of sedimentation, and the contemporary rise in sea level. The
rates at which the early stage of
development takes place have been determined by observations during a
period of 12 years and the time
sequence of later stages by radiocarbon analyses.

Title: Biogeochemical Effects of Seawater Restoration to Diked Salt
Marshes
Authors: J. W. Portnoy; A. E. Giblin
Source: Ecological Applications, Vol. 7, No. 3. (Aug., 1997), pp.
1054-1063.
Abstract: We conducted greenhouse microcosm experiments to examine the
biogeochemical effects of restoring seawater to historically diked Cape
Cod salt marshes. Peat cores from both seasonally flooded and drained
diked marshes were waterlogged with seawater, and porewater chemistry
was subsequently monitored for 21 mo. The addition of seawater to
highly organic, seasonally flooded peat caused the death of freshwater
wetland plants, 6-8 cm of sediment subsidence, and increased N and P
mineralization. Also, sulfides and alkalinity increased 10-fold,
suggesting accelerated decomposition by sulfate reduction. Addition of
seawater to the low-organic-content acidic peat from the drained marsh
increased porewater pH, alkalinity, PO$_4$-P, and Fe(II), which we
attribute to the reestablishment of SO4 and Fe(III) mineral
reduction. Increased cation exchange contributed to 6-fold increases in
dissolved Fe(II) and Al and 60-fold increases in NH4-N
within 6 mo
of salination. Seawater reintroductions to seasonally flooded diked
marshes will cause porewater sulfides to increase, likely reducing the
success of revegetation efforts. Sulfide toxicity is of less concern in
resalinated drained peats because of the abundance of Fe(II) to
precipitate sulfides, and of NH4-H to offset sulfide
inhibition of N
uptake. Restoration of either seasonally flooded or drained diked
marshes could stimulate potentially large nutrient and Fe(II) releases,
which could in turn increase primary production and lower oxygen in
receiving waters. These findings suggest that tidal restoration be
gradual and carefully monitored.

Title: Prehistoric Land Use on Outer Cape Cod
Author: Francis P. McManamon
Source: Journal of Field Archaeology, Vol. 9, No. 1. (Spring, 1982),
pp. 1-20.
Abstract: Preliminary analysis of archeological survey data indicates
that prehistoric use of coastal southern New England (represented by
outer Cape Cod, Massachusetts) was year-round and more diverse than has
been suggested by the traditional emphasis on coastal shell middens.
Prehistoric settlement seems to have been concentrated mainly at a few
locations with large, intervening unsettled areas. A stratified random
sampling strategy allowed estimates of the relative frequency of
different kinds and magnitudes of activities in and between the
intensively settled sections. Quantitative analysis of the lithic
assemblages and structural characteristics of discovered sites
permitted inferences about the kinds and intensity of prehistoric
activities.

Title: The Age and Development of the Provincelands Hook, Outer Cape
Cod, Massachusetts
Authors: John M. Zeigler; Sherwood D. Tuttle; Herman J. Tasha; Graham
S. Giese
Source: Limnology and Oceanography, Vol. 10, Supplement: Alfred C.
Redfield 75th Anniversary Volume. (Nov., 1965), pp. 298-311.
Abstract: The Provincelands Hook, an area of marshes and dunes, was
built out from the northern end of the glacial deposits of Outer Cape
Cod. The hook, a wedge 60 m at its thickest, of marine, beach, and dune
material, rests in part on Tertiary Coastal Plain sediments that are
probably only an isolated patch on the crystalline basement. About
18,000 years ago, when late Tazewell ice melted away from the region of
present day Cape Cod, the Gulf of Maine was filled with ice, and
Georges Bank was above sea level. Between 18,000 and 6,000 years ago,
sand that eroded from the coast was moved along the east side of Cape
Cod from north to south, where it accumulated as a part of the sand
wave complex southeast of the cape. Waves from the east and southeast
that would have tended to move sand northward along the Cape were
blocked by Georges Shoals and Nantucket Shoals. By 6,000 years ago, sea
level had so risen that deeper water over Georges Bank permitted more
waves to reach Cape Cod from the east and southeast. The dominant
direction of littoral drift which had been to the south, then received
a strong north component and material moved northward, accumulating to
form the Provincelands Hook. Based on $^14C$ dates and other evidence,
the hook formed between 6,000 years ago and the present and is still
growing. Shoreline reconstructions are guided by $^14C$ dates, well
information, regional topography, and known behavior of hooks. It is
noted that hooks are characteristic features of Cape Cod spits and tend
to trap lakes behind them. The depressions containing lakes in the
modern Provincelands are interpreted as low areas trapped behind hooks.
A change in the growth habits of spits is thought to have taken place
about 2,000 years ago, coinciding with the abrupt decrease in the rate
of rise of sea level.

Abstract: The development of a typical New England salt marsh, and the
growth of the sand spit which shelters it, during the past 4000 years
has been reconstructed from soundings and borings of the peat. The
results have been interpreted with the aid of observations on the
structure of the marsh and estimates of the rate of its vertical
accretion based on carbon-14 determinations.
