520 |a How did a sleepy New England fishing village become a gay mecca? In this dynamic history, Karen Christel Krahulik explains why Provincetown, Massachusetts--alternately known as "Land's End," "Cape-tip," "Cape-end," and, to some, "Queersville, U.S.A"--Has meant many things to many people.

It details the many cultures and groups--Yankee artists, Portuguese fishermen, tourists--that have comprised and influenced.
