More about the book
The book explores the rich history of Urbanna, one of America's oldest English-settled towns, established in 1706. Initially a tobacco inspection port, Urbanna faced invasions during the Revolutionary War, the War of 1812, and the Civil War. Following the Civil War, the town's economy shifted to oyster harvesting from the Rappahannock River, which remained vital until the 1960s. The annual Urbanna Oyster Festival, celebrating the town's heritage, attracts over 60,000 visitors, highlighting its cultural significance and community spirit.
