Description
Book SynopsisBeautifully illustrated with dozens of photographs and maps, Chesapeake Ferries is a tribute to the region's storied maritime past.
Trade ReviewWith oral histories, photographs and written records... Simmons re-creates a bygone era. -- Diane Scharper Baltimore Sun Chesapeake Ferries would be an excellent addition to a public, academic, or special library that collects materials on transportation or Virginia and Maryland histories. With such an interesting mix of social, political, and military history, the reader will get a fascinating account of how Chesapeake Bay shaped the lives of Virginians and Marylanders and how they navigated those waters by ferry travel for nearly four hundred years. -- Janna Mattson Virginia Libraries 2009
