Wishing to get a better view than I had yet had of the ocean, which, we are told, covers more thantwo-thirds of the globe, but of which a man who lives a few miles inland may never see any trace, more than of another world, I made a visit to Cape Cod in October, 1849, another the succeedingJune, and another to Truro in July, 1855; the first and last time with a single companion, the secondtime alone. I have spent, in all, about three weeks on the Cape; walked from Eastham to Provincetown twice on the Atlantic side, and once on the Bay side also, excepting four or five miles, andcrossed the Cape half a dozen times on my way; but having come so fresh to the sea, I have got butlittle salted. My readers must expect only so much saltness as the land breeze acquires from blowingover an arm of the sea, or is tasted on the windows and the bark of trees twenty miles inland, afterSeptember gales. I have been accustomed to make excursions to the ponds within ten miles ofConcord, but latterly I have extended my excursions to the seashore.I did not see why I might not make a book on Cape Cod, as well as my neighbor on "HumanCulture." It is but another name for the same thing, and hardly a sandier phase of it. As for my title, I suppose that the word Cape is from the French cap; which is from the Latin caput, a head; which is, perhaps, from the verb capere, to take, -that being the part by which we take hold of a thing: -TakeTime by the forelock. It is also the safest part to take a serpent by. And as for Cod, that was deriveddirectly from that "great store of codfish" which Captain Bartholomew Gosnold caught there in1602; which fish appears to have been so called from the Saxon word codde, "a case in which seedsare lodged," either from the form of the fish, or the quantity of spawn it contains; whence also, perhaps, codling (pomum coctile?) and coddle, -to cook green like peas. (V. Dic.)Cape Cod is the bared and bended arm of Massachusetts: the shoulder is at Buzzard's Bay; theelbow, or crazy-bone, at Cape Mallebarre; the wrist at Truro; and the sandy fist at Provincetown, -behind which the State stands on her guard, with her back to the Green Mountains, and her feetplanted on the floor of the ocean, like an athlete protecting her Bay, -boxing with northeast storms, and, ever and anon, heaving up her Atlantic adversary from the lap of earth, -ready to thrustforward her other fist, which keeps guard the while upon her breast a

Picking up where Chatham in the Jazz Age left off, this exciting new book by Debra Lawless explores the history of Chatham, from the beginning of the Second World War to the end of the 1960s. Meet a brave group of people who rationed their food and mourned the loss of their sons, including Robert Scott Brown, the only soldier from Cape Cod killed at Pearl Harbor. As the military took over the Chatham Light and local radio station WCC, wartime security became so tight that Chatham's fishermen were photographed and fingerprinted. Experience the transition into the 1950s, when even as tourism boomed, Cape residents feared polio and called for zoning to ban hot dog stands. Finally, hang out with hippies as Chatham's sons were sent to another war, in Vietnam, and the nation geared up to begin its war on drugs.

What was it like for the former American colony, the islands of the Philippines, waking up one day in September 1972 and all the democratic institutions had ceased functioning, replaced by a military dictatorship? What was it like for the men and women, especially the women, who had the misfortune of being on the dictator Marcoss vaunted list of enemies and subversives? And what was it like when the Marcos dictatorship finally crumbled, laid waste by a housewife who had acted as a giant killer seeking to break the shackles that had bound the Filipino people hand and foot and in the process finding restitution for the murder of her husband? And how sweet was the sweet bird of revenge (to borrow from playwright Tennessee Williams) when a posse was formed to hunt down the soldiers responsible for the torture and rape of the captured enemies of the state? This is an epic story of the struggle between good and evil. It is also the story of two friends: Gus Liloan and Vic Lucero. Liloan, a man stranded in a foreign land, unable to return to his country, where a police state awaited him, should have gotten his wish as circumstances changed, but he could not find the will to abandon America, partly because he realized that he had already found a new home. But his dream of going home would not die. It had been merely shelved in a remote corner of his soul. Vic Lucero, one of the soldiers charged with the interrogation and torture of political prisoners during the Marcos dictatorship, went into hiding and incognito ownership of a piggery after the dictatorship unraveled.
