About this title

Synopsis

This is the black & white version of this book. Photos inside and all content is identical to the color edition except they are in b & w to make the book more affordable. These stories in this second book of The Chesapeake are written by folks who have lived a combined total of nearly two centuries in the region. Experts on fishing, story telling, sailing, building boats and yachts as a well as a Naval aviator who won WWII single-handedly, there are also yarns about floating islands and tips on living from the Country Philosopher. Also included are a few from a fellow who graduated from Georgetown University during the Great Depression and, while operating his own farm near Point Lookout, began the first cooperative effort with watermen and farms in the Chesapeake region. The authentic is mixed with the possible and drizzled with the improbable. Join Fred McCoy, Jack Rue, Mark Robbins, Mel Brokenshire, Vi Englund, Rich Johnson, Stephen Gore Uhler, Joey Greenwell, Pepper Langley, Alan Brylawski and other great writers of The Chesapeake to explore the land of the flask, the fiddle and the dark roasted possum! Learn the art of lucky fishing!

From the Author

This collection of short stories is as varied as the motley crew of writers who penned them.
Pepper Langley, one of the founders of the Calvert Marine Museum spins the tales of Growing Up in Solomon's Island --- as only one who came of age in the 1930's would know.
Jack Rue's stories are mixed adventures of booze, frivolity and music --- all the tools of a successful innkeeper, as he opened the infamous The Roost in Lexington Park, Maryland in 1947 and catered to all the top guns of the U. S. Navy as well as the first astronauts including Alan Shepard and John Glenn. All of Rue's stories are true and no names have been changed to protect the guilty.
Fred and Beth McCoy raised a large family at the tip of Maryland on a large waterfront farm. Their lives were intertwined with the soil and the harvest of the Chesapeake and Potomac and together they spent the last two years of Fred's life recalling those days.
Fishing is the expertise of Cap'n Larry Jarboe although he would rather discuss catching instead of fishing, as its always nice to go home with more than bait and ice in the cooler.
Mel Brokenshire and Mark Robbins wrote of sailing with authenticity. For those who are pained to pay for gasoline and want the free wind, these tales are for you.
More than fifty stories of life in Tidewater Maryland should help you pass the time, whether reading in paperback or eBook and now in audiobook as well. Thanks for visiting --- Ken Rossignol
