Description
Dr. Eric Cheezum lectures on “Chessie,” the Chesapeake Bay’s very own “sea monster” that became a local celebrity in the 1980s. Cheezum’s research investigates not only the origins of the Chessie legend, but also the many ways that the Chesapeake Bay’s culture has helped the stories to take hold.
