Joseph C. Lincoln

Joseph Crosby Lincoln (February 13, 1870 – March 10, 1944) Although born in Brewster, Joseph Lincoln’s adopted home was Chatham, and many of his 50 books, including 38 novels and several collections of short stories, verse, and personal reminiscences of Cape Cod, were written in his home on Shore Road. Lincoln's works were bestsellers during the first half of the 20th century. Lincoln’s stories bring to life the people and the times of Chatham and Cape Cod during 19th and early 20th centuries.

Arthur E. Edwards (1857-1943) ran the windmill shop, Shavings, pictured here as it was on Old Harbor Rd. The store originally used for a general store, became Edwards’ bicycle shop and then around 1881, Edwards began to make toys and windmills. He sold these to thousands of tourists from all corners of the nation who visited his store. This photo is on view in the Lincoln Room at Atwood House. #atwoodhouse, #chatham, #capecod, #lincoln
