Norfolk: the First Four Centuries The story of America's largest maritime port from the first contact between a Spanish sailor and an American Indian Chiskiack man in 1561 to the city in the late 20th century. Norfolk's harbor made it an early refuge for sailors against the threat of Atlantic pirates and storms, and later gave it natural advantages as a seaport. Incorporated as a town in 1680, Norfolk has survived epidemics, hurricanes, total destruction in the Revolutionary War, and occupation in the Civil War to become one of Virginia's largest cities and the world's foremost naval base. Includes the lives and contributions of hundreds of the city's little-known citizens, including women, African Americans and other minorities, as well as more famous people. Very readable; even amusing in spots. 528 pages.
