by Tom Clavin RELEASE DATE: April 21, 2020. 6 to 8 p.m., Hermitage Museum and Gardens, 7637 North Shore Road, off Hampton Boulevard. THE EARP BROTHERS, DOC HOLLIDAY, AND THE VENDETTA RIDE FROM HELL. The event is a collaboration of host Hermitage Museum and Gardens the bay foundation and Virginia Humanities, the state’s humanities council. Swift will share tales from the time he spent on the island and will join a panel discussion with Tangier’s mayor, James “Ooker” Eskridge the Chesapeake Bay Foundation’s Hampton Roads director, Christy Everett and a Tangier photographer, Cameron Evans. The first seven voyages concern the settlement of the Eastern Shore, first by Pentaquod, a peaceful member of the warlike Susquehannock tribe who settles among the Nanticokes, and then by the three. 5, Swift – the author of “Chesapeake Requiem: A Year With the Watermen of Vanishing Tangier Island” – will be one of the main guests at an event celebrating the island, whose nemesis is sea level rise. Readers who’ve been wanting to catch Earl Swift or Beth Macy will get another chance in September, when they’re both in Norfolk to discuss their books – on the watermen of Tangier, and on the makings of the opioid epidemic.
