Myths Tall Tales and Half Truths of Cape Cod The History Press
by [Ellis, James H.]
$21.58
Description
Cape Cod, one of the nation's oldest regions, can claim many firsts, but not as many as some want you to believe.
Boastfulness, tall tales and plain stretching the truth about history is widely practiced in this tourist mecca. Even esteemed institutions such as churches and historical societies are nimble in the art of gilding the lily. Discover where The Wizard of Oz film really premiered, whether Mercy Otis Warren had a hand in writing the Bill of Rights and who invented the hole in the doughnut. Along the way, you'll find out where the country's oldest Congregational meetinghouse is located, and whether "Mad Jack" was a thieving scoundrel.
Local author and historian James Ellis separates fact from fiction.
