About this book

Around Plymouth, old footpaths connect the coast, woodland ponds and traces of earlier settlement. Winthrop Packard follows these routes with a naturalist's attention to granite boulders, mayflowers, red cedars and the habits of wild creatures. His opening chapter moves from the stormy shore at Manomet to the paths beyond town, considering how glaciers shaped the ground and how people left their marks upon it.

These outdoor essays range across Plymouth County, Nantucket and Cape Cod, with chapters on salt marshes, fishing, pine groves and winter woods. In a brook beside the surviving sill of an old milldam, Packard imagines messages written in foam and reflected light. Historical recollection shares space with close observation and playful speculation.
