Book excerpt: Excerpt from Footprints of Miles Standish For nearly two centuries and a half the coast of Cape Cod has been celebrated in the annals of shipwreck and disaster. This point of land, according to the imaginative geographer, constitutes the right arm of Massachusetts; and thus our ancient Commonwealth comes to be responsible for every barbarous salutation extended to the Atlantic voyager approaching these shores. The Cape pushes its treacherous sands out into the very heart of ocean navigation. It spreads the dangerous flats across the path of the tall and stately ship, idling on her way from India, and weaves its toils for the shallop of the laborious fisherman.
