Chesapeake Storyteller

This is the channel of Joe Paden, he's a historical & genealogical researcher, preservationist & storyteller.  He's 13th Generation Eastern Shore-man, who's based out of Crisfield, MD.  Joe has done an extremely tremendous amount of research, of not only the area that he was born & raised, but also the entire Chesapeake Bay region & all of America as well.  Joe's research efforts are motivated by numerous factors.  He does storytelling events where he speaks to crowds, which often exceeds 100 people.  This is in part because Joe doesn't just give a lecture but he put's on a show.  The topics he covers include everything from the early Colonial period, to pirates, the Oyster Wars, shipbuilding history & many, many other topics.  And, at Joe's storytelling events he tells the stories on all of these subjects without a script, engages the audience & shares humorous anecdotes.  Joe will also come to you & customize his show for you/your group. Check out Joe's FB; Chesapeake Storyteller
