In 1639, Barnstable was established by the Plymouth Plantation Colony as the third town on Cape Cod. Over time, Barnstable was divided into six distinct villages: Centerville, Cotuit, Hyannis, Marstons Mills, Osterville, and West Barnstable. Each of these communities grew and developed their own libraries, schools, churches, and general stores. Local industry was abundant, and residents were employed as blacksmiths, cobblers, copper smiths, and farmers. Saltworks, cranberry bogs, shipbuilding, and light industry also supported the area. Barnstable documents the evolution of the town between the 1839 centennial celebration and the 1939 tercentenary and shows how the advent of both the railroad and steam-powered ships spurred great change in the town's communities. Today, economic life revolves around Hyannis while the other villages have become more residential in nature.

When the United States began to consider claiming territory to the Pacific Coast, Captain William Sturgis (1782-1863) had a unique perspective on the issue. As a mariner, he had circumnavigated the globe under sail four times and spent months trading with Northwest Coast Indians. As a merchant, he managed many of the vessels traveling to the Pacific in the first half of the nineteenth century, including the brig Pilgrim, on which Richard Henry Dana Jr. made the voyage documented in Two Years Before the Mast. Sturgis began to argue against American claims to territory on the Columbia River in 1822 in a series of letters to the Boston Daily Advertiser. Between 1845 and 1850, he gave the four lectures included in this book, the most influential of which was ¿The Oregon Question.¿ Though Sturgis devised the border that was eventually adopted, he did not support the expansion of either the U.S. or Britain. Sturgis argued that those territories belonged to the native people who already lived there, and in that he was a unique voice for his time.
