Joe Lincoln of Cape Cod
by James Westaway McCue
About the author
James Westaway McCue was an American writer born in 1911 and deceased in 1987. Records for his books show a steady interest in Cape Cod and New England, with titles including Cape Cod Holiday, Cape Cod Doctor, A New England Journey, and Joe Lincoln of Cape Cod.
His writing appears closely tied to local culture and memory. Cape Cod Doctor centers on his father, James Patrick McCue, and has been described in catalog records as a collection of stories, articles, and recipes, while Joe Lincoln of Cape Cod is a literary portrait of Joseph C. Lincoln and the Cape setting that shaped Lincoln's fiction.
Taken together, McCue's books suggest an author drawn to regional character, everyday lives, and the texture of coastal New England. Even where biographical details are scarce, his published work leaves a clear impression of a writer who cared deeply about preserving the feel of a place and its people.
