Window on the Chesapeake: The Bay, Its People and Places

The Chesapeake Bay Region, which spans parts of Pennsylvania, Maryland, and Virginia, endures to unite an awe-inspiring landscape and rich history with a collection of people and cultures, equally striking. The area’s natural beauty, which includes a main stem nearly 200 miles long, and continued productivity have made her one the nation’s most prized gems. Window on the Chesapeake: The Bay, Its People and Places tells the story of the changing face of America; it is a tale written in the ebb and flow of its Atlantic tides.

Fixing its gaze on such a dynamic history and people this book serves to display the richness of the Bay Region. The Chesapeake has outlasted 400 hundred years of our developing land’s history; Window on the Chesapeake recounts this narrative through the lives of the region's everyday citizens.
