THE EPIC OF AMERICAN TIDEWATER
Chesapeake is Michener's sprawling novel that transforms Maryland's Eastern Shore into a stage for four centuries of American history. Richly detailed and deeply researched, Chesapeake blends fiction with documentary history in Michener’s signature style, creating both an intimate family saga and a vast portrait of a region. At once an ode to the Bay’s natural beauty and a study of America’s contested past, it remains one of Michener’s most enduring works.
This deluxe edition is briefly inscribed on the full title page by Michener.
