A. a place in which to live, work, buy, build and vacation and enjoy the free democratic way of life that i. our American Herit.ee.
Firrt Comer. Had to Build Homes in Cape Wilderne..
now Maratona Mills. Farther south, Cotuit and Sa-
tult or Siuiluit. The unaided eye oould hardly reach
still rartlier Southwest to Massapee, die modern
mash pee.
In His nearer foreground was Skonouct, hearing
later tho euphonious name of Skunknet from tho
river of that name. NurtheuBt from Shoot Plying
Hill was Muttakeeset , partl y In the present village
ot Barnstable and partly in Yarmouth. The original
Cmmaflquc covered the Eastern part ot Sandy Neck
and tlie region around Barnstable Harbor. This be-
longed to lyanough, who during seasons of the year
lived Oh Sandy Neck and was sometimes culled tho
Suekem of Ciimmaqtild.
Those early explorers tnuat have seen also, from I
trelr lofty peak , tho Indian Canton of Skuuton , which !
^eluded Scorton Neck und Bcorton 11
111.
Along the great marshes, extending westward
from Barnstable Harbor to Scorton , was Mooso-
tuokeqult, the aboriginal name of West Uurnstable,
meaning very appropriately "Tho Groat Meadows."
Over all this wide area which met the gaze of
those explorers , and covering tit least one hundred
Bquare miles of almost primeval wilderness, roamed
these trlbea or famiiios of comparatively peaceful
Hedmon. Here they pursued their simple occupations
of html lug and flatting, and to a limited extent, lu a
primitive way, cultivated the soil. Here, also , roamed
by day herds of door , not entirely extinct at the
present time , and nt night paoka of wolves, happily
no longer included among our forest denizens,
No Roads at First
In all Uils vast wilderness domain, ihove was
not u white man's home , not n road over which
men travelled , not u sound or nlgu of any descrip-
tion giving token of tho Oncoming title of civiliza-
tion HOOU to break on those lonely shores, an ever
increasing tide; which , after a lapse of nearly throe
Hundred years, has made this Hoctlon one of tho
fatuoiiH summer resorts of tint country,
Nor WIIH the Bilonco and loneliness which brood-
turned Beaward either North or South . On Vlno-
ed over tho land IOHB marked when the gaze was
year Sound , which 1\UH since become, « grout history
of couatwtBe and ocean travel , no mill of vessel or
smoke of steamer mot the V IHIOII . Cape Cod Hay,
now at limes dotted with the while HII II K of Hulling
fleets , or at other times, Us in some recent years,
bearing squadrons of mighty war vessels, WIIH wllh-
. out a sign of life , except perhaps, some military
canoe pushing out from Handy Neck,
Lot us very briefly sketch the Initial stops which
j led to the settling of Ihe throe oldest towns upon
' Capo Cod. A very remarkable activity in Now Kng-
j land colonization followed the return of the May-
flower to Knglnii d in tho Spring of , 11121.
Camp In Single Ship
Ilartlott of London, In Ills book, "The pilgrim
pathoi'8", says, "A single Bhlp curried over the Pil-
grims and their fortunes ,—it fleet now departed with
tho emigrants thai followed In their wake." Notable
among the HhlpH crowded with KugllHh emigrants
were the "Fortune", which urrlvud at Plymouth lu
November, 1021, with thirty-live new members; the
"Abigail" , having on board Joh n Kndlcotl , the llrst
Governor of the Massachusetts Colony, with about
fifty others, who founded In Hi2K Nuumokii g, the
modern Salem; and the "Arabella ," the ship of John
Wlnthrop and his company, which arrived In Boston
harbor by way of Salem, July 1st , 16801
It is but to repeat a truism to say that New
England was born in old England. The rots ofl
these old colony towns,-and especially is it true of
Harnstaule,—strike far und deep Into English soil.
J he very names of there towns are strongly sug-
gestive of their English origin. Plymouth, Sandwich,
Barnstable, Falmouth , Yarmouth , Chatham , Harwich
and Truro bear the names of English seaboard
towns, most of them centuries old when the "May-
flower " . that stormy petrel of the Atlantic , sought
the safe shelter of Provlncetown Harbor in Novem-
ber, 1900.
The habits , customs and traditions of the people
here In West Barnstable are strongly English even
to thiB day, not withstanding a generous admixture
of alien races, sucli as Italians, Portugese, Swedes,
Huns and Irish. And this in spite of the fact that
for more than a century the Stars and Stripes have
floeted over us instead of the blood-red banner of
St. George
It Is not an easy tusk In this early part ot t):e
twentieth century, with its stirring life and mo/e-
meut, to RO buck nearly three nuMved yeavs And
think in terms of the seventeenth century—to have
an adequate and satisfactory mental picture of life
as existed here on Cape Cod loss than a century
an da half after the discovery of America and only
two decades after the landing of tho Pilgrims on
Plymouth Hock.
First Settlers Investigated
It seems probable that the English settlers in
Scituate, who in process of time for various rea-
sons, decided to establish their permanent homes
on Cape Cod , did not uccept , unchallenged , hearsay
Information relative to their place of settlement.
We may reasonably suppose that they sent some
of their own number to reconnolter the region to
which they purposed to move, these to report on
their return as to Its advantages or disadvantages
as a permanent abiding place.
Imagine , if you can , two of theBe men , who like
Caleb und Joshua of old ,, were sent to Bpy out the
land , climbing to the top of sonic tall oak or pine
on Shoot Flying Hill , and looking in every direction
on the scene of wilderness loneliness spread out
before them .
How different iVu landscape which met the gaze
of these pilgrim explorers from that which may now
been seen from any hilltop In the center of the town.
Then, great tracts of practically unbroken forests
stretched wld? in every direction. Where now a
score of peaceful villages are Been , with their white
church spires p'olntlng heavenward , thon the forestB
were broken only by groups of Indian wigwams or
huts on vthfi shores of Nine Mile pond, or other
ponds, or along the margins of the Htreams. Now
large tracts of level farm land , Borne hundreds of
acres In extent , take the place of small clearings
carved out of the forest by tho Indians or planted
wifft rude stone Instruments with maize or Indian
own.
Hyannis—lyanough' s Town
On the south side of the Cape, bordering the
Sound , waH lyanOugh' H tract , the present Hyannis.
This tract also included the Must part of Barnstable,
a part of West Barnstable, the EaBt part of Sandy,
Neck, and South and WoHt Yarmouth. West of ly-
anough's Sachemdom was Cheekwuqiiet , now Cen-
terville , and beyond that Cotocheeset, the present
Ostervillo. Still farther to the WeHt WII B Mlstle ,
