Naturalist on Nanticoke The Natural History of a River on Maryland's Eastern Shore

Since its discovery by Captain John Smith in 1608, the Nanticoke has never been particularly hospitable to the outsider. It flows a serpentine thirty-six miles from its source above Seaford, Delaware, to the Chesapeake Bay below Salisbury on Maryland's Eastern Shore, but it is surrounded by mosquito-ridden and low-lying marshland. Hedeen concentrates on the natural history and ecology of the river area, but especially on those aspects that have given rise to fascinating stories and legends or those that have provoked his curiosity, bringing to them the solid grounding of dispassionate scientific explanation.Hedeen, Robert A. is the author of 'Naturalist on Nanticoke The Natural History of a River on Maryland's Eastern Shore' with ISBN 9780870334672 and ISBN 0870334670.
