Cape Cod Stories

Description

This collection of eleven short tales was also produced with the title of, The Old Home House. Joseph Crosby Lincoln was a U. S. novelist, poet, and loves to write short fiction, most of which took place in an imaginary Cape Cod. Joseph’s books are often seen in famous publications including the Saturday Evening Post and The Delineator. Joseph held that he was contented “spinning yarns” that made his fans feel better of themselves and their friends. Two of his tales have been made into a motion picture. Joseph’s profession in the literary scene acclaiming “old Cape Cod” can relatively be perceived as an effort to go back to Eden from which he had been hurled by family misfortune. His literary representation of Cape Cod can also be seen as a pre-contemporary refuge taken by populaces of old Yankee hoard which was suggested to book lovers as an answer to the United States that was experiencing speedy transformation, development, settlement, and economic growth.

Joseph was born in Brewster, Massachusetts, on Cape Cod, and his family went to live at Chelsea, Massachusetts, an industrial city outside Boston, after the demise of his maternal grandfather. Joseph was both a Republican and a Universalist.

As he became well known with his publications, Joseph stayed in northern New Jersey during winters, close to the middle part of the printing area in Manhattan, but spent his summer days in Chatham, Massachusetts. In Chatham, he dwelled in a shore-style home called “Crosstrees” that was situated on a hillside having a view over the Atlantic Ocean. Joseph passed away in 1944, at 73 years of age, in Winter Park, Florida.
