Old Cape Cod : the land, the men, the sea
by Mary Rogers Bangs
About the author
Mary Rogers Bangs was an American author born in 1868 and associated with Brewster on Cape Cod, Massachusetts. Reliable listings and library records available here connect her with three principal books: Jeanne D'Arc: The Maid of France (1910), High Bradford (1912), and Old Cape Cod: The Land, the Men, the Sea (1920).
Her writing seems to have moved comfortably between biography, fiction, and local history. That range helps explain her lasting appeal: one book turns to a famous historical figure, another to a Cape Cod romance, and another to the people, landscape, and maritime life of the Cape.
Today, she is most often remembered through Old Cape Cod, which has remained visible through library catalogs and public-domain editions. A confirmed portrait image was not available from the sources I could verify here, so no profile image is included.
