The Ruling Hand

Cape Cod once held the ruling power that rightfully belongs in Boston.

Thomas Prence was re-called by the state to serve as Governor. The Governor-elect was comfortably settled in Eastham, and declared he would forgo the office, if he had to leave his home. There was nothing the General Court could do. So he ruled for seventeen years from Eastham.
