Joe Lincoln of Cape Cod by James Westaway McCue
Le second voyage de Vasco da Gama à Calicut by J. Ph. Berjeau is a historical account written in the Victorian era. It likely explores Vasco da Gama’s second expedition to India, outlining the voyage to Calicut, key encounters, and the broader implications for Portuguese trade and empire. The book you provided is a warmly detailed portrait of Joseph C. Lincoln, the popular Cape Cod novelist and poet, tracing his Brewster childhood
in a seafaring family, early city jobs, and shift from sketching to the verses and stories that launched his long career. It follows his rise to national popularity through annual Cape-centered novels, stage and film adaptations, and public readings, emphasizing his cheerful realism, affection for village life, and a steady routine of writing mornings and fishing or golfing afternoons. Drawing on interviews and reminiscences, it captures his friendships and anecdotes, his views on editors and magazines, his method of planning books, and his practical advice to beginners. The narrative samples his poetry, describes his homes and collections, and records his devotion to preserving Cape character, from windmills to village stores, alongside a wartime tribute to Chatham’s community “Victory Market.” Later chapters recount public honors, family collaborations, travels, and plans for a local memorial, presenting him as a genial guardian of New England’s past. Overall it is a celebratory biography rich with Cape lore, publishing lore, and the steady charm of its subject. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
