Cape Charles: A Railroad Town

Jim Lewis
306 pages

In June of 1883, the town of Cape Charles did not exist. The entire area was a windswept and desolate expanse of marshland and sand dunes. In less than three years, there sprang forth from this wilderness the town of Cape Charles. This well-researched book about Cape Charles could only have been written by Jim Lewis whose formative years were spent in that railroad town. Mr. Lewis engages our sense of history and home as he shares his research and memories of Cape Charles with us.
