Joseph Crosby Lincoln

Joseph Crosby Lincoln (1870–1944) was an American novelist, poet, and short-story writer who built his reputation almost entirely on Cape Cod. Over four decades he produced dozens of popular novels and story collections peopled by retired sea captains, sharp-tongued widows, and small-town New Englanders. His gentle humor and affectionate local color made him one of the best-loved regional writers of his generation.
