  • "They found the grace of God on the Chesapeake: Catholic, Puritan and Anglican refugees from an aging world and teh tyranny of its king. Among the fishermen adn landowners, the crabbers and tobacco farmers, freedmen and slaves were two proud families whose fates intertwined: the Stafrfords and the Parrishes. For eight generations, as a nation fought for freedom, fought itself, and fought wars around the world, they shed their blood for the navy and the city that was its mecca."
