Mark Schmidt of the Falmouth Historical Society who will talk about 
their recent book "*/Legendary Locals of Falmouth/*" on Friday, May 17,

Falmouth Historical Society has published a new book about the people 
who have made and continue to make Falmouth such a unique community. 
"*/Legendary Locals of Falmouth," /*a paperback compilation of many 
personalities past and present, looks at famous and not so famous 
citizens of Falmouth who contributed to the growth and development of 
the town and of Cape Cod. The settling of Falmouth is a proud and 
powerful story with unexpected heroes, remarkable achievers, and 
unforgettable characters. The faces and stories of Falmouth range from 
the town's rebellious founding father, Jonathan Hatch, to the much-loved 
journalist Kitty Baker. Falmouth's past and present have always been 
marked by exceptional creativity and genius in the arts, sciences, and 
business. Falmouth, it can be said, is a town with a talent for allowing 
individuals to follow their unique paths. Witness Rachel Carson pursuing 
her lost birds and marine life at Woods Hole, Gus Canty pursuing his 
dreams through town sports, James Miskell Sr. beginning the 100-year 
family legacy of Wood Lumber Company, and Tommy Leonard begin the 
Falmouth Road Race. This cavalcade of residents is presented in chapters 
on Falmouth founders, maritime folk, newcomers, and creative 
entrepreneurs, and it appeals to all who ever wished to be a part of 
small-town living. "*/Legendary Locals of Falmouth"/* will be available 
for purchase after the talk and is also available at the Falmouth 
Museums on the Green as well as other local retailers.Purchase your copy
