Description

Part documentary, phase nostalgic history, and phase informational catalogue, Waterfowling on the Chesapeake, 1819–1936 explores a century of searching on the Chesapeake Bay and its major tributaries―from the heyday of gun clubs and market shooting to the upward push of conservation law. Drawing on oral histories and period documents and artifacts, C. John Sullivan, an established collector of decoys and searching paraphernalia and a frequent guest curator of exhibits, looks on the effects of technological change, the connection between hunter and dog, the popularity of decoys as folk art, and the history of searching. He also introduces us to famous and lesser-known carvers and others who proportion an enthusiasm for this option of Chesapeake cultural history and life.
