Gloucester's Own: Stories from America's First Fishing Village
Vendor: Cape Ann Museum Store
By Andrew Joyce
In Gloucester's Own, Andrew Joyce endeavors to tell the stories of twenty people who now call Gloucester, Massachusetts, their home. Some have traveled a long, winding road getting to Gloucester. Others come from families who have been entrenched here for many generations. It's a cross-section of people. From "Movers and Shakers" to a bus driver, a scalloper, a house painter, a retired Broadway actor, and other assorted individuals. Each story starts with a family history going back as far as could be researched—the average being 300 years. This is a book rich in history and speaks to the importance of family.
Softcover, 264 pages, 5.5 x 8.5". Black & White.
