Book Description
Assateague, a sandy, marshy, and swamp-like land off the coast of the Delmarva Peninsula, is a paradise to beach lovers, bird watchers, photographers, hunters, and fishermen. Native Americans, the first visitors, found an abundant supply of waterfowl, fish, and shellfish for hunting and fishing. Assateague was patented in 1687, and early settlers farmed, raised livestock, cut timber, and had salt works. The construction of the Assateague Lighthouse in 1833 encouraged the growth of the village. In 1875, the US Life Saving station was established. The men of the area worked on the water fishing, clamming, and oystering or worked for one of the fish factories or the two government agencies. Villagers migrated from the area lured by amenities on Chincoteague, the effect of the purchase of land surrounding the village, and the automation of the lighthouse. The US Fish and Wildlife Service purchased the island in 1943 as a national wildlife refuge.

Book Description
An old man is murdered after selling ten gold coins to different people on Maryland's Eastern Shore. The sheriff and his chief deputy are more interested in finding the source of the gold than the murderer. They think the victim found the long lost buried treasure of Blackbeard, the pirate. The sheriff figures Blackbeard sailed up the Chincoteague Bay to either repair the Queen Anne's Revenge, replenish his larder or to bury his treasure. Madame Z and the Sheriff's Wife want to solve the case and write a book. They travel around Worcester Country looking for clues and old coins at nautical antiques shoppes. They even go to Key West to get a first-hand look at treasure hunting. Blackbeard and Worcester County is another humorous mystery laced with local places; Chincoteague Bay, Assateague Island, Globe Theatre, Berlin, Ocean City and Snow Hill.

Book Description
The thriving barrier islands of Chincoteague and Assateague entice over a million tourists to their shores every year. Adjacent to one another, these parcels of land jutting into the Atlantic have a symbiotic relationship--Chincoteague, a modern, developed community that thrives on tourism, helps attract visitors to neighboring Assateague, which in turn acts as a natural buffer against the surging tides and is home to Assateague Island National Seashore, a state park that provides protection for native flora and fauna and leisure activities for the nature lover. Overlapping the border between Maryland and Virginia, Assateague Island remains an undisturbed natural habitat boasting extensive wetlands and wildlife. Images of the native inhabitants of this area abound--the ponies, birds, and sea life take center stage, while the sandy dunes and rolling ocean provide a beautiful backdrop. The families who made the island of Chincoteague their home, from as early as 1650, were a tough breed and, over the years, made many contributions to the improvement of their community. Schools, churches, and businesses were established, bridges were built, roads were paved, and waterways made navigable--all of this visually documented and now available in this remarkable volume.
