Description

Life has changed On this beautiful seaside village at the elbow of Cape Cod since pioneers William and Anne Busby Nickerson bought it from the Monomoyicks in 1656. On this first complete history of Chatham, seven local authors survey the three energetic centuries leading to town’s 2012 tercentennial. Meet the urbane Native American Squanto who met a mysterious death beside Pleasant Bay, Dr. Lord who fought a losing battle against smallpox, and an old woman who recalled the naval blockades of the War of 1812. Find out why Chatham’s 19th century sea captains were sought across the world. Meet two young boys who came upon a German spy operating within shouting distance of Coast Guard headquarters in World War II. Learn the way Chatham morphed from a hard-scrabble fishing village into an exclusive summer destination. In any case, explore life as it’s these days.
