AN INDEX
Compiled and Edited by David Widger
CONTENTS
Step into the world of 19th‑century Cape Cod with this handy guide to Joseph Lincoln’s beloved tales. The index gathers more than a dozen short stories and poems, each anchored in the rhythm of fishing villages, bustling harbors, and the ordinary lives of sailors, shopkeepers, and their families. From the charming misadventures of Cap’n Dan’s daughter to the quiet resilience of Keziah Coffin, the collection paints a vivid portrait of a region where the sea shapes every destiny.
Listening to any of these works gives you a glimpse of Lincoln’s warm, straightforward prose and his affection for everyday heroes. Whether you’re drawn to the humor of “The Woman‑Haters,” the tender nostalgia of “Cape Cod Ballads,” or the modest drama of “The Depot Master,” each piece offers a self‑contained story that can be enjoyed on its own. The index makes it easy to jump straight into the narrative that catches your ear, inviting you to explore the simple, heartfelt world of Cape Cod one story at a time.
