The Cape Cod Museum of Natural History presents
John T.Cumbler Author of
Cape Cod: An Environmental History of a Fragile Ecosystem


BREWSTER, MA.     The Cape Cod Museum of Natural History in Brewster 
is proud to present author John T. Cumbler for a presentation on his 
most recent book, Cape Cod: An Environmental History of a Fragile 
Ecosystem Sunday, September 6, 2015 at 1pm.

Cape Codders have experienced significantly different Cape 
environments over the last 300 years.  Much of the difference 
resulted from Cape Codders themselves using the land and sea to 
support themselves and their families and to pass on something to the 
next generation.  How those Cape residents used the resources 
available to them significantly affected what kind of Cape Cod was 
available for future generations.

  This presentation will look at how Cape Codders have used the 
Cape's environment and how that has changed over the last 300 years. 
 From an understanding of that past it is hoped we might be in a 
better position to leave to future generations a Cape that is both 
loved and worthy of that love. Book signing to follow the presentation.

John Cumbler is a recently retired professor at the University of 
Louisville and now lives in    Wellfleet year round. He is the author 
of numerous books, including "From Abolition to Rights for All: The 
Making of a Reform Community in the Nineteenth Century" and 
"Reasonable Use: The People, Environment, and the State, New England, 
1790-1930"
