Descriere magazin:
A must-have for all those devoted to the character and culture of the Eastern Shore, a coastal region of eclectic small towns and pristine natural beauty. Originally published in 1944, this second edition brings an American classic back into print and into the hands of a new generation. Literary writer Hulbert Footner (1879-1944) tells the story of Maryland\'s Eastern Shore through his colorful narratives of 17 fascinating rivers. His story begins from the day European settlers landed and encountered the Indigenous peoples and expands to the early 20th century. Each river has its own story, character, and beauty, told during Footner\'s rambling tours. He writes in vivid, glowing prose about the Eastern Shore\'s people, customs, towns, and houses. He speaks of its politics, economics, and lifeways. This region is rich with American history, from the Revolution, War of 1812, and Civil War to the trade of enslaved Africans and the oyster wars over its great natural resource. Footner captures it all in the following chapters: 1. Beginnings 2. William Claiborne 3. Colonel Edmund Scarburgh 4. The Picaroons 5. The Pocomoke River 6. The Little and the Big Annemessex 7. The Manokin 8. The Wicomico 9. The Nanticoke River 10. The Dorchester Marshes 11. The Little Choptank 12. The Choptank River, Part One 13. The Choptank River, Part Two 14. The Town of Oxford 15. The Tred Avon River 16. St. Michaels 17. The Miles River 18. The Lloyds of Wye 19. The Wye River 20. The Chester River 21. Chestertown 22. The Sassafras and Bohemia Rivers Both text and illustrations are faithfully reproduced from the original publication, augmented by a biographical sketch written by Footner\'s granddaughter and a foreword by noted nature writer Tom Horton. Indeed, references to the Chesapeake Bay\'s impact on the land--what we now call climate change--are presciently discussed by Footner in 1944, making the book relevant to today\'s environmental stewards and lovers of the bay.
