- na. Cape Cod – A Proposed National Seashore Field Investigation Report. Cape Cod, Barnstable County, Massachusetts / prepared by Region Five Office, National Park Service, the Cape Cod Study Group. 1958. 164p. Spiral bound. Cape Cod – “A place where a man can stand and put all America behind him.” (Thoreau) In. in 1961, President John F. Kennedy signed a bill authorizing the establishment of Cape Cod National Seashore. A long-time summer resident of the Cape, J.F.K. had co-sponsored the legislation while in the Senate. The goal, he wrote, was “to preserve the natural and historic values of a portion of Cape Cod for the inspiration and enjoyment of people all over the United States.” This was the first time the federal government had created a national park out of land that was primarily in private hands. Months of hearings and meetings were required to produce a bill that balanced private and public interests. Today the Seashore encompasses more than 43,000 acres and draws more than 4,000,000 visitors a year. This is the report that first examined the proposal and evaluated the outer Cape for inclusion in a National Seashore. Chapters include Authorization and Purpose, Investigative Activities, Location, Population and Visitor Source, Accessibility, Existing Parks, Scenic Features, Geological Features, Biological Features, Historical Features, Interpretive possibilities, Needs for Conservation, Present Use, Development as a Seashore, Boundary and Acreage, and more. Profusely illustrated with maps, diagrams and photos. Most interesting if you love Cape Cod. Edge wear to wraps. Extremely rare. (VG+). $68.
