Peninsula In Passage

Professional journalists, photographer John H. Sheally II and writer Phyllis Speidell, and veteran educator Karla Smith, combined their talents to produce Peninsula in Passage . Their shared familiarity with and love for the community initiated the project but it is the stories of residents and friends that bring the book to life. Sheally, Speidell and Smith also collaborated on The River Binds Us and Chuckatuck: Crossroads in Time . The three books each reflect the voice of the communities they document with the goal of preserving and promoting the unique heritage and history of North Suffolk.

Blessed with a history second only to Jamestown, the Driver/Bennett’s Creek/Harbour View area of North Suffolk has changed dramatically in the last 20 years and continues to evolve. Peninsula in Passage documents that early history and explores the recent development that has drawn thousands of new residents. The Crittenden, Eclipse and Hobson Heritage Foundation, also evolving to meet the future, has grown into Suffolk River Heritage and expanded its range to include Driver/Bennett’s Creek/Harbour View. The foundation presents Peninsula in Passage with the hope of uniting residents in the knowledge and pride of their shared heritage.
