| Summary | "Old Cape Cod: The Land, The Men, The Sea" by Mary Rogers Bangs is a historical account written in the early 20th century.

The narrative likely encompasses elements of local folklore and the significance of the region's maritime heritage, providing readers with an immersive experience of Cape Cod's past. The opening of the book paints a vivid picture of Cape Cod during its "Age of Romance," characterizing the landscape with its charming architecture and natural beauty, reminiscent of early settlers’ ties to their British heritage. Bangs evokes nostalgia for a simpler time, describing the harmonious union of land and sea and the lifestyle of the settlers, who forged a modest yet fulfilling existence.
