“In presenting to the people of Barnstable county this history, it is
hoped that it will meet with the favorable reception which the earnest
and conscientious labors of its compilers merit. It will be seen by an
examination of the work that nine important chapters, besides many
other valuable articles in it, were prepared by well-known citizens of
the county, and it is believed that their names will be considered a
guaranty that every reasonable eflfort has been made to secure accu-
racy in the many details which constitute a history.
“Names of the special contributors appear in the work, but oppor-
tunity is taken here to return thanks for the generous response with
which requests for information have also been met by the clerks of
the different towns, ofiBcers of societies, editors, clergymen and others
who were in possession of special information that was desired.
“Particular acknowledgement is due for the valuable assistance
of George E. Clarke, of Falmouth; Charles Dillingham, of Sand-
wich ; Calvin Burgess, of Bourne ; Ferdinand G. Kelley, of Barnsta-
ble ; Joshua C. Howes and Watson F. Baker, of Dennis ; Levi Atwood,
of Chatham ; Captain Alfred Kenrick and David L. Young, of Orleans ;
Simeon Atwood, of Wellfleet ; and to Mr. Clark, of Eastham, who care-
fully criticised and corrected the respective town manuscripts sub-
mitted to them.
“The biographical sketches, for the most part, have been arranged
alphabetically at the end of the several chapters. The large number
of these sketches has necessitated as brief treatment as the circum-
stances would warrant. No pains have been spared to make this de-
partment accurate, and it is believed that it constitutes an interesting
portion of the work, which will increase in value with the lapse of
years.
“A new feature and one of interest, is a map showing the location
of the various Indian tribes and their villages, which were spread
over the Cape prior to its settlement by the whites. Another map,
in its proper place, will enable the reader at a glance to learn the
dates of settlement and incorporation of the respective towns, and as
a ready reference will be of great value. These maps were specially
drawn for this work by the editor.
“While some unimportant errors may, perhaps, be found amid the
multitude of details entering into the composition of a work of this
character, it is believed that this result of the historians' labor will
be found as free from mistakes as a work of this kind can well be
made, and in behalf of these historians is asked the generous indulgence of those who may be disposed to criticize.”
