Historical Novel set in the Chesapeake Bay
James Michener is one of the great authors of all times. One has to stay with it to get to the story in all of his books, but there is so much history tied in with the story.
Mr. Michener writes another great book with such extensive research. It makes you want to visit the area which he covers with such thoroughness.
