Sometimes he walked alone, other times he travelled with his friend William E. Channing. He met local fishermen, wreckers, lighthouse keepers and other native Cape Codders. He watched ships wrecked by storms, stayed a night at the Highland Light, and engaged a Wellfleet oysterman in a long conversation about daily life amid the sands of Cape Cod.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHe related stories of these encounters, as well as of the shipwrecks and the natural history of the Cape, in a series of lectures around New England. His sister Sophia, aided by his friend Channing, edited and published them as \u003cem\u003eCape Cod \u003c\/em\u003eafter his death. These tales of the Cape are balanced between the uncontrollable energy of the Atlantic Ocean and the fragile beauty of the landscape. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnyone who, like Thoreau, believes Cape Cod to be \"a place of wonders\" and who secretly believes (or wants to believe) that the Cape is best visited during \"a storm in the fall or winter\" will find here the Cape when it was \"wholly unknown to the fashionable world\".\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 184\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.42 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e April 30, 2021\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47342564442361,"sku":"9781732762657","price":14.33,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/MjZaL3hkZWU1SG1wTjRaNjI0ZVl2QT09.webp?v=1769713761","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/cape-cod-paperback-12","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
