To Always Persevere: The Diary of Benjamin Franklin Robbins

$16.00

A crusty, free-thinking Yankee and town wheelwright in the mid-19th century. Robbins’ house and shop are just down Parallel Street from the Brooks Academy Museum, and are stops on the walking tours conducted periodically by the Harwich Historical Society. Robbins was a neighbor and favorite subject of Charles D. Cahoon, one of Cape Cod’s preeminent artists. This diary spans some sixty years, from the 1840s to the 1900s. Edited by Marcia J. Monbleau.
