Legends & Lore of Cape Cod (American Legends)

Legends & Lore of Cape Cod (American Legends)

Cape Cod has a rich tradition of local lore, stretching back to a time before the Pilgrims arrived. Ancient Wampanoag legends like Granny Squannit and Princess Scargo are as familiar as tales of pirates and explorers, including â€œBlack Samâ€ Bellamy and Donald Baxter Macmillan. Felines often blocked â€œCatâ€™s Alleyâ€ in pursuit of food from fishermenâ€™s boats. The remnants of Billingsgate Island can be seen at low tide, and visits from Jenny Lind and Helen Keller contrast with the mysterious stories of the â€œLady of the Dunesâ€ and New Englandâ€™s Dark Day. Author Robin Smith-Johnson shares historic tales of shipwrecks, murders, hauntings and more from the Cape.
