In this dynamic history, Karen Christel Krahulik explains why Provincetown, Massachusetts-alternately known as "Land's End," "Cape-tip," "Cape-end," and, to some, "Queersville, U.S.A"-has meant many things to many people. Provincetown tells the story of this beguiling coastal town, from its early history as a mid-nineteenth century colonial village to its current stature as a bustling gay tourist destination. It details the many cultures and groups-Yankee artists, Portuguese fishermen, tourists-that have comprised and influenced American history and culture (New York University Press)Provincetown (Mass.)Social conditionsProvincetown (Mass.)HistoryElectronic books. 974.4/92Krahulik Karen Christel1032093MdBmJHUPMdBmJHUPBOOK9910479860303321Provincetown2449747UNINA
