    Chesapeake-- all the above checked boxes.

    I read this book 7 years ago. I saw on internet lately and wanted for my small library. I was a history and political science major in college. Book encompasses my interest in development of the USA. Jane

    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.

    What a great read. From Clearfield and Cooperstown to the Conawingo how much history flows down and into the Chesapeake.

  • Very interesting book and well worth reading

    Love Michener's book on Hawaii. Since we recently sailed in the Chesapeake and thought it would be a great book to read because we have been to the places described.
