Cy Whittaker's Place is a novel written by Joseph Crosby Lincoln and published in 1908. The story is set in Cape Cod, Massachusetts, and follows the life of Cy Whittaker, a hardworking and honest farmer who lives with his wife and children. The novel explores the challenges and struggles of rural life in the early 20th century, including poverty, social inequality, and the changing landscape of agriculture.The plot of the novel revolves around Cy's efforts to keep his farm afloat in the face of mounting debts and the encroachment of modernization. He is forced to sell off parts of his land to pay his bills, and his relationship with his wife and children becomes strained as a result. Meanwhile, a wealthy businessman named Amos Cogswell seeks to buy up all the land in the area to build a massive resort, and Cy finds himself caught in the middle of a conflict between the local farmers and Cogswell's minions.Throughout the novel, Lincoln paints a vivid picture of life in rural New England, with its harsh winters, close-knit communities, and strong sense of tradition. He also explores themes of family, loyalty, and the struggle to maintain one's way of life in the face of change. Cy Whittaker's Place is a timeless story of perseverance and resilience, and a testament to the enduring spirit of the American farmer.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
