Ken Rossignol's new series is off to a great start with Chesapeake 1850, the tale of Ethan Douglas from his days as a 10 year old cabin boy on his grandfather's Chesapeake Bay steamship before the Civl War, through his rise to become a wealthy ship owner in his own right. The young boy witnesses everything from a hanging to hurricanes, to the bloody Oyster Wars as he matures, and meets the love of his life and later marries her. The author does an excellent job of bringing history to life in an entertaining and captivating way that keeps you reading from start to finish.Good work, Mr. Rossignol!
