Yarmouth, on the south shore of Cape Cod in Barnstable County, Massachusetts, was in 1893 a town whose older sea-captain prosperity had faded. Its economy leaned on fishing, cranberry growing, and salt-marsh work, while the shipbuilding and coasting trade that had once filled its harbors no longer carried the town's wealth. Railroad service along the Cape had brought in summer visitors for a generation, and boarding houses and cottages were slowly reshaping the village streets and the shore. Residents of the period would have known Yarmouth as a quiet Cape town in transition, with farms, churches, and village centers set between salt marsh and bay, and with its future increasingly tied to the summer trade.
