The story of Reedville; Virginia; is linked to the commercial fishing industry that developed in the late 19th century. In 1874; Elijah Reed transferred his menhaden fishing operation from Brooklin; Maine; to the Chesapeake Bay. He purchased the land on Cockrell�s Creek that is now Reedville. The industry flourished; especially in the early part of the 20th century. Today; Reedville is one of the major ports for the landing of commercial fish in the United States; second only to Kodiak; Alaska. This Northern Neck area of Virginia has a deep history dating back to Jamestown; and this book adds another chapter in retelling its past by providing unique photographs that have never been previously published.
