In the heart of Cape Ann - The story of Dogtown Charles E. Mann
This book explores the forgotten history of Dogtown, a long-abandoned settlement in the heart of Cape Ann, Massachusetts. Once home to over a hundred families, by the mid-19th century, Dogtown was a ghost town, its former inhabitants having moved away to escape the area's poverty and isolation. The author delves into the lives of the Dogtown residents, uncovering their struggles, their relationships, and the reasons behind the town's decline.
