James A. Michener manages to educate you a little while also creating interesting enough stories around the Chesapeake area of the United States of America. This is different to Centennial in that it doesn't go way back, and only covers a few hundred years. Not as interesting.
This is a pretty cool trick to pull enough. I wonder how many library chairs he wore out back then while working on it.
