Set against the backdrop of early 20th-century Deltaville, the narrative explores the region's rich historical significance, from its strategic location between major rivers and the Chesapeake Bay to its role in pivotal events like the Revolutionary War and the Civil War. The community evolved from a hub of wooden boatbuilding, fishing, and oystering into a vibrant waterfront resort, attracting recreational boaters and tourists. This transformation highlights the interplay between local industry and the area's cultural development over time.
