The outermost house : A year of life on the great beach of Cape Cod by Beston
"The Outermost House: A Year of Life on the Great Beach of Cape Cod" by Henry Beston is a book published in 1928. It chronicles Beston's year spent living alone in a small cottage on the dunes of Cape Cod, observing the natural world around him. Through his isolation on the Great Beach, he documented the surf, wildlife, and changing seasons of this remote Atlantic shoreline. His meditations on nature and animals
became a literary landmark that influenced the creation of Cape Cod National Seashore. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
