Excerpt from Population and Resources of Cape Cod, 1922: A Special Report in Recognition of the Three Hundredth Anniversary of the Settlement of New England The recent celebration at Provincetown and Plymouth of the three hundredth anniversary of the settlement of New England has awakened widespread interest in the history and develop ment of Barnstable and Plymouth counties, where the early settlers first made their homes. In recognition of this interest the Department of Labor and Industries has brought together in this report considerable information with reference to Barn stable County, which is practically cc-extensive with that por tion of the Commonwealth popularly known as Cape Cod. In a measure this report is supplementary to a report issued by the Massachusetts Bureau of Statistics in 1897, under the title Social and Industrial Changes in the County of Barn stable. The text of this report consists principally of articles con tributed by persons who are thoroughly conversant with the several topics discussed by them, and most of whom are residents of the Cape for at least a portion of each year. The statistical data summarized in the text and presented in detail in the Appendix to the report have been compiled by the Department from Federal and State reports, with the addition of data of recent date which have been furnished, in advance of publication, for use in this report. A road map, specially prepared for the purpose by the Massachusetts 'department of Public Works, is inserted, and a number of interesting photo graphs, illustrative of Cape Cod scenes and industries, are inter spersed in appropriate places in 'the text.
