Winthrop Packard walks the old trails of Plymouth County and the Cape, mixing natural history with the history of the Pilgrims. He finds mayflowers, singing pines and wild apple trees, keeps Forefathers’ Day, crosses Cape Cod on foot, visits Nantucket in April and sails home through half a gale, in essays first written for the Boston Evening Transcript and the Atlantic.
