ISBN10: 0394500792, ISBN13: 9780394500799, [publisher: Random House, Inc.] Hardcover 5th Printing.The central scene, however, is neither the broad Atlantic nor even the entire bay, but that dramatic section of Maryland's Eastern Shore, hardly more than ten miles square, where the Choptank River flows into the Chesapeake. To this point come the founders of families that will dominate the story. The first, in 1583, is Pentaquod, the tall Susquehannock, in flight from a dangerous conflict with his tribe. He finds the peaceful and ineffectual Choptank Indians and becomes their chief. In 1611 Edmund Steed, having come to Jamestown to escape the persecution of Catholics in England, moves up the bay to the Choptank. He is followed in 1638 by a fugitive from justice. Timothy Turlock: and in 1664 by the militant Quaker Edward Paxmore, who has been banished from Massachusetts. The nineteenth century brings three more founding fathers. In 1833 the African Cudjo, after being sold into slavery and surviving a year of horrible adventures, is bought for a Steed plantation, where his torments continue until his strength and resourcefulness surmount them. Michael Caveny escapes a famine in Ireland and arrives in 1852. Otto Pflaum, seaman, is "introduced" to the area in 1893 by Tim Caveny and Jake Turlock. The descendants of these extraordinary men produce over the years a wide variety of characters who play major and minor roles in this compelling story. No reader ...
