Martin's "Cape Cod" is a great read. My favorite part is where some Truro boys, who are enjoying a couple of nights in the "big city" Boston are Shanghiaed by the Brits during the War of 1812. By the Somerset. ( Paul Revere rowed stealithly past it prior to his ride). As the Somerset sailed past the back beach of Truro the lads said that they could be dropped off right here. When they were informed that they were in His Magestry's Navy, they grounded the Somerset. It sits at Peaked Hill Bar to this day. Oh yeah the British were marched all the way back to Boston by the good citizens of Truro at the tines of pitchforks.
