Synopsis :

Chesapeake People looks into the lives of a variety of intriguing citizens who call the Eastern Shore home. Among them are scientists, watermen, an educator, a world class sailor and a minister. Their fascinating stories are not only entertaining but offer insight into a special lifestyle.

Except for four years in the military, Don Parks has lived on the Eastern Shore of Maryland his entire life. The son of a waterman, Parks began to seriously explore the Chesapeake Bay and its people following his retirement. The Chesapeake has always been one of his passions.

À propos de l'auteur:

Don Parks has written five previous nonfiction books on the history and heritage of the Chesapeake Bay. Two of them--Chesapeake Splendor and Chesapeake Winds and Tides--recount his travels on the Bay in the 25-foot Yankee Rover. He is the descendant of several generations of watermen who lived on Holland Island, since abandoned to rising water levels. With the exception of a brief departure for military service, he spent his entire career on the Eastern Shore, working as a professional educator.
