With British warships off the coast and trade killed by the embargo, the seafaring people of Eastham on Cape Cod are left to fend for themselves. Young men are captured and held as prisoners of war, Uncle Jabez spins his yarns at Crosby’s Tavern, the Committee of Safety debates and Phil the fifer plays his part against the enemy’s demands.
A local historical tale drawn from long residence on the Cape, for readers of New England maritime history. Download the free EPUB.
