You don't necessarily need a campfire or a metal dectector to go on an adventure. Just pick up this book of unusual tales, told and retold by the people of the Virginia Tidewater, some perhaps for centuries.

You don't necessarily need a campfire or a metal dectector to go on an adventure. Just pick up this book of unusual tales, told and retold by the people of the Virginia Tidewater, some perhaps for centuries. A pirate ship that sails above the coast, a chest of gold in the bed of the York River, and a sunken submarine that led to a secret nighttime burial-these are only some of the legends and histories explored in Tales My Father Told Me. Allow author Mike Haywood to take you on a journey, from the Old House Woods of Matthews County, to the moat at Fortress Monroe; from Cohoke Crossing in West Point and a tavern in Bedford, Virginia; all the way to the battlefronts of two world wars in Europe. Along the way, you'll meet pirates and patriots, ghosts and treasure seekers, pilots and divers, and old men who play checkers around a pot-bellied stove. It is a book for anyone interested in Virginia history or craving an intriguing tale, which just might prompt a road trip and a visit to a historic or haunted site.

Autorenporträt
Mike Haywood was born and raised in Hampton, Virginia, where he still resides. He is retired from the Peninsula Baptist Association, and he also worked for the Hampton Social Service Department and the Juvenile Court. An avid scuba diver for forty years, Mike pursued shipwrecks, historical sites, springs, coastal and offshore waters, and underwater photography. His work with the Peninsula Baptist Association included ministries for children, teens, and special population groups. For twenty years, Mike conducted camps and retreats for hearing- and vision-impaired youth. During the camps, Mike and his fellow divers used their diving equipment in the pool to provide a scuba experience for those special campers.
