Disappearing Delmarva: Portraits of the Peninsula People

Disappearing Delmarva: Portraits of the Peninsula People by Okonowicz, Ed. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9781890690007.

Disappearing Delmarva introduces you to more than 70 people on the peninsula whose professions are endangered. Their work, words, and wisdom are captured in the 208 pages of this hardbound volume, which features more than 60 photographs. Along the back roads and back creeks of Delaware, Maryland, and Virginia--in such hamlets as Felton and Blackbird in Delaware, Taylors Island and North East in Maryland, and Chincoteague and Sanford in Virginia--these colorful residents still work at the trades that have been passed down to them by grandparents and elders. This book won two first-place awards in 1998 from the National Federation of Press Women for Best General Book and Best Photojournalism.
