SALISBURY, MD---Salisbury University’s Fulton Public Humanities Program hosts the lecture “Plain Paths and Dividing Lines: How Southeastern Travelers Challenged Colonial Authority in the Early Chesapeake” by author Jessica Lauren Taylor 7 p.m. Thursday, September 26, in Conway Hall Room 153.

Algonquian connections continued to define the watery Chesapeake landscape in the 1600s, even as Virginia and Maryland planters erected fences and forts, policed unfree laborers and Native neighbors, and dispatched land surveyors. Taylor discusses her book Plain Paths and Dividing Lines: Navigating Native Land and Water in the Seventeenth-Century Chesapeake. 

Sponsored by SU’s Edward H. Nabb Research Center for Eastern Shore History, Fulton Public Humanities and the History Department, admission is free and the public is invited.

Those planning to park on campus must register in advance for a free parking pass.
