The life of Ethan Aaron Douglas is chronicled as the ten-year-old
joins his grandfather for a life on the Chesapeake Bay. With his
grandfather as captain of a steamboat traveling between Norfolk,
Washington, D.C. and Baltimore, the boy learns quickly about life
on the water. From hurricanes to blue crabs life on the Bay changes
quickly. Learning Shakespeare and witnessing a hanging are just
part of the life along the river. Ethan Douglas' life brushes past
major events in the United States from slavery to the underground
railroad and the days leading up to the civil war. How did those
who lived along the Potomac deal with active warfare during the War
Between the States? Life was always a war on the water with pirates
shooting at each other as well as Maryland and Virginia oyster
police. Ethan's younger brothers and sisters soon join him as they
grow older and become entrepreneurs as the nation's capital city
grows and changes. From buyboats to newspapers the lives of the
Douglas family become part of the history of the young nation.
Oysters were the "white gold" of the east while railroads and
shipping competed for freight. This book is the first in the series
that will tell the story of life in the tidewater Chesapeake Bay
region from 1850 to 1950.
