Baltipink reviewed Chesapeake by James A. Michener
Review of 'Chesapeake' on 'Goodreads'
3 stars
I picked up this book after I moved to DC. I thought it would be an interesting and painless way to learn about the history of the area.
Michener covers a lot of ground and he does make it (mostly) interesting. I have to say I was a little bored with some of the details about the boating and shipping history in the area, but the explanations of attitudes about slavery and divisions between Maryland and Virginia were really interesting.
