Présentation de l'éditeur

VlASHPEE is distant from Sandwich village eleven miles; and from Barnstable court-house, thirteen miles. It is bounded on the north by Sandwich; on the east, by Sandwich and Barnstable; on the south, by Vineyard Sound ;and on the west, by Falmouth and Sandwich. The plantation is eight miles and a half in length from north to south; and four miles in breadth, from east to west; and contains, some say thirteen thousand five hundred acres, others say not more than twelve thousand acres; which are exclusive of the spaces covered by the harbours and lakes, and of the land in the possession of the whites. There are two harbours on the coast, Popponesset Bay and Waquoit Bay, both of which have bars at their mouths. On these bars the tide is from four to six feet deep at high water, common tides rising about five feet. The outward bar is continually shifting its position and altering its depth. Popponesset Bay is the eastern boundary of the plantation. There is an island in it, named Popponesset I sland, containing forty acres of excellent land. Coatuit River, or Brook, which divides Mashpee from Barnstable, empties itself into this bay; and takes its rise from Sanctuit Pond, a lake a mile and three quarters long.
