A review by icbikecommuter
Chesapeake by James A. Michener

5.0

Maybe my new favorite Michener book. I love his long family sagas that occur in the same setting. THis book covers 400 years of families living on the Chesapeake including Native Americans, Capt John Smith, The Revolutionary War, Civil War, slavery, Quakers, World Wars, Civil Rights, and Presidencies including Nixon. I can only imagine how Michener would have including current day BLM protests and a Trump Presidency in this saga. I also wonder how he might have included DNA testing in his books, even maybe in his own personal life to learn who his birth parents were.
