description: Excerpt from In the Heart of Cape Ann, or the Story of DogtownArizona and New Mexico. There are comparatively few ruined cities in America; and even more rare are the instances of deserted villages which were once inhabited by white men, the progenitors of people who are living to-day. It has been the pleasure of the writer during the past few years to acquaint many people with their ancestors, in a figurative sense, for in the heart of Cape Ann may be found the remains of a village which was once inhabited by the grand parents or more distant progenitors of many who are to-day active in the affairs of Gloucester and Rock port. Since the first edition of this volume appeared the writer has published in the Gloucester Times many columns of the genealogy of Dogtown, show ing the lines of descentreferred to Â more particularly of the Day, Stanwood and Lane families.
