22195. Beston, Henry. NIGHT ON A GREAT BEACH. Pp. 791-798. The Atlantic Monthly. June 1928. Published in advance, this article began a classic of American nature writing. Author Beston’s The Outermost House was the journal of a year spent in a small cottage on Coast Guard Beach in Eastham. Through these wonderful writings we can sense the true feeling of life on the solitary beach as we watch the seasons unfold. As we watch the Coast Guardsmen patrol the beach for wrecks and invite a few in to warm themselves, we see too the numerous shore birds and other creatures of the dune world. Cited in 1960 by federal officials as one of the motivating forces in the creation of the Cape Cod National Seashore, this was a true classic and a wonderful vehicle by which to experience the outer beaches. Wonderful view of a night on the outer beach. Clean, tight, full issue with many articles and advertisements of the day. (VG). $58.
