Kent Knowles Quahaug is a novel written by Joseph C. Lincoln. The book tells the story of Kent Knowles, a young man who inherits a large sum of money and decides to leave his hometown and move to a small town on Cape Cod. There, he meets a group of colorful characters, including a wealthy businessman, a local fisherman, and a beautiful young woman. As Kent becomes more involved in the town's affairs, he learns about its history and traditions, and becomes embroiled in a series of conflicts and mysteries. Along the way, he must navigate his own personal struggles, including his feelings for the young woman and his desire to make a difference in the world. Kent Knowles Quahaug is a charming and engaging novel that captures the spirit of small-town life and the joys and challenges of finding one's place in the world.1914. Joseph Crosby Lincoln is perhaps Cape Cod's most prolific writer. Through some 50 novels, numerous poems, short stories, and magazine pieces that were written in the first half of the 20th century, the rest of the country came to have an image of Cape Cod that has lasted well beyond his death. The novel begins: It was Asaph Tiddit who told me how to begin this history. Perhaps I should be very much obliged to Asaph; perhaps I shouldn�������t. He has gotten me out of a difficulty-or into one; I am far from certain which. Ordinarily-I am speaking now of the writing of swashbuckling romances, which is, or was, my trade-I swear I never have called it a profession-the beginning of a story is the least of the troubles connected with its manufacture. Given a character or two and a situation, the beginning of one of those romances is, or was, pretty likely to be something like this: It was a black night. Heavy clouds had obscured the setting sun and now, as the clock in the great stone tower boomed twelve, the darkness was pitchy.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
