A Man of the Shore

There are some people whose knowledge becomes part of a place.

For more than half a century, Terry Crannell has helped people on Maryland’s Eastern Shore see Native history not as something distant, but as something still present in the land beneath their feet.
 

Not because they hold an official title alone, and not because they speak for a region in any tidy or polished way, but because over many years they help other people learn how to notice what has always been there. On Maryland’s Eastern Shore, Terry Crannell appears to be one of those people.
