      Chesapeake is great!

      I so enjoy James Michener historical novels, and have read Chesapeake before, but am really looking forward to reading it again. My only sad thing is that I thought it was a soft bound book not hard bound, as an elder person I find it hard to read in bed with a hard backed book.

    • One of the best Michener book ever

      A well researched historical novel that gives a vivid picture of the history of the Chesapeake Bay over the centuries. Have read the book twice already and bought this copy because I gave my last book to a friend to read. Museums in the Chesapeake Bay such as in St. Michaels and Solomons Island reflect the history described by Michener.
