The Material World of Eyre Hall: Four Centuries of Chesapeake History

Practically perfect in every way!

A beautifully produced volume on a fascinating historic plantation. Thorough and interesting text with great color photography.

Romanticism of Stolen land ,Slavery and lies and greed! This land was not purchased but gained via copulation with Brown skin curly haired colored Accawmacke Indians to gain access to the Accawmacke’s kings main village and homeland. Without Grace the the colored Accawmacke woman in the family graveyard the Colonizer family of Furlong Baldwin would have never gained access to this plantation. On which they imprisoned Graces family and took her family’s indigenous land ! They have china and wallpaper from the 1700’s they say but the Bible pages containing their genealogy is GONE! The Baldwin family have no rights to Eyre Hall at all ! An Accawmacke homeland turned to Land theft Slavery Servitude Lynchings and destruction!

A must read, I enjoyed learning Eyre Hall history thru the eyes of the 13th generation of the Eyre family.
