Crisfield

More about the book

Crisfield's unique history as a seafood hub is explored through landmark events such as the Great Fire of 1928 and Hurricane Hazel in 1954, alongside the establishment of the National Hard Crab Derby. Once known as "Dodge City of the East," this city, founded on oyster shells, thrived due to its seafood-shipping opportunities. The narrative covers everyday life in the community, including activities at school and church, all illustrated with over 200 images that vividly depict the city's first century.
