David Healey’s non-fiction draws on his deep connection to the Chesapeake Bay and Delmarva Peninsula region. These books explore the area’s history through specific lenses: the War of 1812 as it played out on the bay, local legends and folklore, and the powerful storms that have battered the coast over the centuries.
1812: Rediscovering Chesapeake Bay’s Forgotten War (2005) covers a neglected chapter of American military history. Delmarva Legends and Lore (2010) collects regional stories and traditions. Great Storms of the Chesapeake (2012) chronicles the hurricanes, nor’easters, and other weather events that have shaped life along the bay. All three books reflect Healey’s journalist’s eye for research and storytelling.
