Description
I was fortunate to be on the Eastern Shore of Virginia in October when the marsh is flowering in red and green. This is the backyard of Franklin City, a once small but prosperous fishing village where my father was born and was famous for supplying Chincoteague oysters to fancy restaurants in Baltimore, Philadelphia, and New York. But it is now a near ghost town. There was a huge fire in 1896, the railroad left after roads were built to Chincoteague Island, the oysters died, and the marsh grew deeper after severe storms.
