An Island Out of Time
A Memoir of Smith Island in the Chesapeake
An intimate portrait of three years spent on Smith Island — a marshy archipelago in Maryland's Chesapeake Bay — and a deeply traditional community.
Tom Horton chronicles the three years his family spent on Smith Island, a marshy archipelago in the middle of Maryland’s famous estuary. The result is an intimate portrait of a community that lived much as their ancestors did three hundred years before, attuned to the habits of blue crab, oyster, and waterfowl. A classic of Chesapeake Bay literature.
