Synopsis

The Life Savers of Cape Cod is a book written by J.W. Dalton that tells the story of the brave men who served as life savers on the coast of Cape Cod, Massachusetts. The book chronicles the history of the United States Life-Saving Service, which was established in 1871 to rescue sailors and passengers from shipwrecks along the treacherous coastline. Dalton's account is based on extensive research and interviews with former life savers, as well as archival materials from the US Coast Guard and other sources. He provides a detailed look at the daily life of the life savers, their training and equipment, and the many daring rescues they performed in the face of great danger.The book is filled with vivid descriptions of the storms, shipwrecks, and other challenges that the life savers faced, as well as the camaraderie and sense of duty that kept them going. It also delves into the social and cultural context of the time, including the role of women in the life-saving service and the impact of the Civil War on the Cape Cod community.Overall, The Life Savers of Cape Cod is a fascinating and inspiring account of a little-known chapter in American history, and a tribute to the brave men who risked their lives to save others.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
