Cape Cod Passage is a creation of over fifty narratives profiling both ordinary and extraordinary people and events that have played a role in the Cape's history. The book divides the peninsula's past into broad topical segments featuring individuals and events from different eras. Not a lineal history in the traditional sense, Cape Cod Passage is instead, a series of snap shots designed to assist the reader in appreciating how Cape Cod came to be what it is. The evolution of Cape Cod is seen through the prism of experience of people who lived in earlier, and in some cases, more contemporary times.
