"Gilbert Byron, The Chesapeake Thoreau" will open Friday, March 15, In the Museum's Chesapeake Bay Building, and continue until Friday, May 10. For over 40 years Byron has recorded man's relationship with the Chesapeake Bay In numerous novels, poems, short stories and articles.

The exhibit will trace Byron's life from this birth In early 20th century Chestertown, through his student years at Washington College, his years as a teacher and scoutmaster, and finally to bis Thoreau-like retreat from society. In 1946 Byron moved to a secluded cabin in the woods he had built on the shores of San Domingo Creek, near St. Michaels. It was there he penned his award wining autobiographical novel, "The Lord's Oysters," which traces his boyhood along the Chester River. This was followed by several books of his poetry, including "Chesapeake Cove," and most recently, "Sunbathing With the Professors," and "Cove Dweller." Many facets of Byron's personality will be revealed in this exhibit; the sailor, the scoutmaster, the historian, the philosopher, and his teaching relationship with children.

Many never- before-seen photographs and memorabilia from Byron's personal collection will be shown, along with original manuscripts, illustrations, and drawings for dust Jackets. Another feature of the exhibit will be a video tape presentation about Byron, highlighted by an Interview with the author, prepared by the Maryland Center for Public Broadcasting. An even more personal view of Byron's interest in the Chesapeake Bay will be given by Byron himself during ah evening lecture on Thursday, April 25, at the Museum's Chesapeake Bay Building. His topic for the evening will be the "Early Exploration of the Bay." Byron will also hold a series of talks for schoolchildren, discussing the background material he used when writing "The Lord's Oysters" and "Chesapeake Duke," a novel about a boy and his dog. Byron is at bis best when Interacting with children.

According to Richard J. Dodds, Curator of Collections at the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum, the exhibit "represents the most Important recognition, to date, of Maryland's long-time chronicler of Chesapeake life.
