Cape Cod in the decades after the Civil War was a region of fishing villages, salt works, and small farms tied closely to the sea. The Cape Cod Branch Railroad reached Hyannis in 1854, and later rail extensions carried freight and summer visitors along the peninsula, bringing new trade to towns that had long depended on coasting vessels and fishing. Cranberry bogs were spreading across the sandy low ground, while shipbuilding and fish curing kept harbor wharves busy. A view drawn from above would have shown residents a landscape of harbors, church steeples, and rail lines, and those were the features that defined daily life for the people who lived there.
