Abstract:
"Virginia's Tidewater has played a significant role in American history. With European settlers arriving on its tranquil shores as early as the sixteenth century, the historical moments that occurred across this region were pivotal in the creation of our nation and its continued evolution. As time marched on, more and more landmarks lost their relevance and were left as abandoned vestiges of days gone by. In Abandoned Tidewater: Forgotten Relics of Southeastern Virginia, you'll explore some of these discarded places through vibrant imagery which shows what was left behind when man walked away. Learn more about the history and follow author and photographer, Nancy E. Sheppard, as she takes you on this incredible journey across Southeastern Virginia"--Amazon.com.
