Review: Chesapeake 1880

Chesapeake 1880 Chesapeake 1880 by Ken Rossignol
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

Largely a collection of period newspaper articles, this feels more like a scrapbook than a book of history. Still, it has its merits from details (even gruesome ones) of ship accidents and the hot oyster wars of the era. I think this would be particularly interesting to area residents due to the tie-ins to local communities and geography.
