Abstract:

The four-hundred-year saga of America's Eastern Shore, from its Native American roots to the present.

To this point come the founders of families that will dominate the story. A panoramic narrative of human and animal life on Maryland's Eastern Shore focuses on a ten-square-mile area at the mouth of the Choptank River and the families that settle there, from 1583 to the present.
