Decades ago, author Hal Roth began listening to and recording the tall tales and hard truths of a fast-fading rural culture on Maryland's Eastern Shore.
Shaped by centuries of isolation from the mainland, and by the tides and winds of the Chesapeake Bay and Atlantic Ocean, the Eastern Shore had its own distinctive vernacular and speech, and its own tall tales, superstitions, haunted histories and sagas.
Conversations in a Country Store connects us to a time before the Chesapeake Bay Bridge from Annapolis and the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel from Hampton Roads opened the Eastern Shore to expressways and automobiles -- and began tugging it into the 20th century.
