Campfire Stories: Chesapeake Bay — Tales & Travel Companion Book

Part story collection, part travel companion, this is the kind of book we love to find: thoughtful, distinctly of this place, and equally good for reading at home or tucking into a bag for a weekend away.

The collection brings together classic passages, original poetry, historical excerpts, folk traditions, local myths, and contemporary voices from an impressive group of contributors—including James Michener, Tiya Miles, Annie Marhefka, Gilbert Byron, Tom Wisner, Audrey Scharmen, Makshya Tolbert, and RagghiRain.

It is also a companion guide offering recommendations for outdoor adventures, cultural landmarks, historic sites, gateway towns, camping, and other ways to experience the region for yourself. “How to Visit Well” and community resource sections encourage thoughtful travel and introduce readers to cultural, Indigenous, and conservation organizations working throughout the Chesapeake.

A wonderful little book for anyone who loves the Bay—or wants to know it better. It also makes an easy host, housewarming, boat, or weekend-away gift.
