His books include Paul Revere's Ride, a main selection of the History Book Club; Albion's Seed: Four British Folkways in America, winner of the American Association of University Presses Prize for Overall Excellence; and 'Champlain's Dream', the authoritative biography of French explorer and visionary Samuel de Champlain. Fischer received the 2005 Pulitzer Prize for 'Washington's Crossing', an analysis of Washington's battles in New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania. A graduate of Princeton and Johns Hopkins Universities, Fischer serves as the Earl Warren Professor of History at Brandeis, where he has taught since 1962. He is presently at work on two books, a comparative political history of the United States and New Zealand, and a history of the endurance of African folkways in America.

Departing and returning from Sultana‚s home port of historic Chestertown (and occasionally other ports around the Chesapeake), Sultana's two-hour public sails are a great way to sail the Chester River onboard a traditional schooner. Passengers are encouraged to help raise the sails, steer using Sultana‚s seven-foot long tiller, and explore the authentically reproduced crew's quarters below-decks. Advance reservations recommended. Adults $30 / $15 under 12. Sorry, no children under 5. |

Did you know that for over 50 years Kent County African American veterans and their families held a parade on Decoration Day (now Memorial Day) to honor fallen soldiers? from 1868 to the late 1920's they would lay flowers on the graves of both Union and Confederate veterans. This year we are going to re-enact this ceremony at Janes Church Cemetery and the Chester Cemetery and then march in the Memorial Day Parade. Come join us! |
