Just pick up this book of unusual tales, told and retold by the people of the Virginia Tidewater, some perhaps for centuries. A pirate ship that sails above the coast, a chest of gold in the bed of the York River, and a sunken submarine that led to a secret nighttime burial-these are only some of the legends and histories explored in Tales My Father Told Me. Allow author Mike Haywood to take you on a journey, from the Old House Woods of Matthews County, to the moat at Fortress Monroe; from Cohoke Crossing in West Point and a tavern in Bedford, Virginia; all the way to the battlefronts of two world wars in Europe. Along the way, you'll meet pirates and patriots, ghosts and treasure seekers, pilots and divers, and old men who play checkers around a pot-bellied stove. It is a book for anyone interested in Virginia history or craving an intriguing tale, which just might prompt a road trip and a visit to a historic or haunted site.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mike Haywood\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1300953055\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781300953050\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Lulu.com\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/16\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 186\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.51d","brand":"Mike Haywood","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44169990308095,"sku":"9781300953050","price":21.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_fa5b95e7-70e7-4794-9477-723b454c06cf.jpg?v=1689656167","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/tales-my-father-told-me-mike-haywood-9781300953050","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
