About this ebook
The amusing historical adventures of a white boy and his two black friends in the Summer of 1948 on Chincoteague Island, Virginia. Let this book make you a twelve-year old again and take you back to 1948. Your host is old salt Thurston Watson, a life-long professional "waterman." His humorous, opinionated narration will give you unusual insights about life during that era on Chincoteague Island as he and his Afro-American friends Ben and Lottie Dale lead you on a romp through small town Americana at a time when life was very much simpler. Though fictionalized, the vignettes and escapades are based on the author's childhood experiences and his knowledge of Chincoteague Island lore. The stories will enchant you and teach you some unvarnished history about the Eastern Shore of Virginia as it was soon after World War II. Along the way, Thurston Watson will help you better understand the quirks and mores of Chincoteague natives and you will learn how a "waterman" earned his living.
