Cape Cod and the Islands get all the ink, but the South Coast-the stretch from Wareham to Westport forming the western margin of Buzzards Bay-could be Massachusetts's most diverse, beautiful shore. From aerials that soar in over marsh and main to closely observed scenes of town and country life, these are some of the most striking images Commonwealth Editions has ever published. The book is divided in four sections. ?Gateway? focuses on Wareham and Onset, the landward communities at the head of the bay. Next come Rochester, Marion, and Mattapoisett, all of which were once part of ?Old Rochester.? In ?Working Harbor, ? landscape becomes cityscape in New Bedford and Fairhaven, communities on the comeback after years of maritime glory followed by decline. South Coast Massachusetts comes to a glorious finish in ?Country, ? with the Dartmouths and Westport. Author Daniel Sheldon Lee (Buzzards Bay: A Journey of Discovery) provides a thoughtful introductory essay on the history and character of the region.
