A Journey on a Boat and a Bike

In the summer of 1990 the author sailed his schooner "Delphina" from the Florida Keys to the Chesapeake Bay. On his boat & bicycle, he visited over 25 areas, including remote communities where visitors seldom travel. From the first page of this entertaining book, the reader will feel like a welcome guest aboard "Delphina". Written in an easy style & full of humor, CHESAPEAKE REFLECTIONS is rich in interesting historical details of the towns & cities he visited in Maryland & Virginia. The warmth & friendliness of the Bay-area residents he met shine through the many conversations recounted in the book's lovely dialogue & leave the reader wanting to meet them personally. As the title implies, the author also gives the reader thoughts to consider as the journey progresses. Chesapeake Bay shares characteristics with other areas of our diverse environment & the reader is led to reflect on some of these parallels. CHESAPEAKE REFLECTIONS will be enjoyed by armchair travelers, boaters, cyclists, tourists & all those who would like to take a different look at Chesapeake Bay. The journey in the book is not the typical trip in a travelogue, but rather a trip of discovery full of amusing surprises.

Bailey Jones has always been a misfit in a town that sets a lot of store on family lineage, old money and homes that overlook the Chesapeake. As he makes plans to leave Marshy Hope Creek for good, a couple of things delay his departure. A developer unearths a long-dead homicide victim on land that was his up until a few weeks ago. And Chloe Richards is back in town. The first piece of startling news sends a shiver down the spines of four of the town's most prominent citizens. Each of them has something from their past that could connect them to this discovery--with dire consequences. And the second piece of news sends a shiver down Bailey's back--a not unpleasant experience. As the gossip mill kicks into overdrive, an air of expectation settles over the town. It will be a long, hot summer.

Published in hardcover in 1965 and long out of print, this lively and accurate adventure tale is now available in paperback for the first time. As a fictionalized account of life on the Chesapeake Bay at the turn of the century, Run to the Lee has the same appeal to all ages as Gilbert Byron's own beloved novel, The Lord's Oysters.

Exploring the Water Trail of Captain John Smith

Philip D. Curtin

With its rich evolutionary record of natural systems and long history of human activity, the Chesapeake Bay provides an excellent example of how a great estuary has responded to the powerful forces of human settlement and environmental change. Discovering the Chesapeake explores all of the long-term changes the Chesapeake has undergone and uncovers the inextricable connections among land, water, and humans in this unusually delicate ecosystem.

Edited by a historian, a paleobiologist, and a geologist at the Johns Hopkins University and written for general readers, the book brings together experts in various disciplines to consider the truly complex and interesting environmental history of the Chesapeake and its watershed. Chapters explore a variety of topics, including the natural systems of the watershed and their origins; the effects of human interventions ranging from Indian slash-and-burn practices to changing farming techniques; the introduction of pathogens, both human and botanical; the consequences of the oyster's depletion; the response of bird and animal life to environmental factors introduced by humans; and the influence of the land and water on the people who settled along the Bay.

Discovering the Chesapeake, originating in two conferences sponsored by the National Science Foundation, achieves a broad historical and scientific appreciation of the various processes that shaped the Chesapeake region.

"Today's Chesapeake Bay is only some ten thousand years old. What a different world it was . . . when the region was the home of the ground sloth, giant beaver, dire wolf, mastodon, and other megafauna. In the next few thousand years, the ice may form again and the Bay will once more be the valley of the Susquehanna, unless, of course, human-induced changes in climate create some other currently unpredictable condition."―from the Introduction

Four Centuries of Food and Recipes

The four hundred years since colonization have brought European, African and Asian techniques, ingredients and tastes to the Chesapeake Bay. European colonists and Africans both enslaved and free were influenced by indigenous ingredients and Native American cooking and created uniquely New World foods. The nineteenth century saw the development of industries based on the bounty of the Bay and the rising popularity of oysters, blue crab and turtle soup throughout the greater Mid-Atlantic. Waves of immigrants brought their own cuisines to the mix, and colcannon, brisket, sauerkraut and fish peppers are now found on Chesapeake tables. Local author, scientist and blogger Tangie Holifield weaves together the unique food traditions of the Bay, telling the stories of each culture that has contributed to its bounty.
