Beside her rested a cup of water, water colors and a pad of paper. A history author and artist from Annapolis, Md., Doyel, 29, was capturing the idyllic seaside setting as Phil Mickelson's threesome played through. “You can't ask for better views,” Doyel said. “The colors are pristine. The untamed, rugged natural terrain of the cliffs contrasted against the manicured golf course and the ocean, which man has no control over, makes for an interesting juxtaposition.” Doyel, who played golf at the University of Richmond, painted desert scenery last week at the FBR Open in Scottsdale. As a crowd gathered to check out her work yesterday, the reviews were positive. “Beautiful,” offered one fan. “Wow,” said another. “Your style is spectacular,” said a third.

It is the land that Louis Heintz called the “little beautiful village of Eastport” when he sailed past it in 1891, and what author William Stevens dismissed as Annapolis’s “shabby and unfragrant neighbor” in 1937. In this compelling history, author Ginger Doyel illuminates the people, places and events that have defined Eastport for over three centuries. She profiles many of its memorable personalities including the beloved waterman Cap’n Herbie Sadler, civic leader and businessman George Davis and the midwife Annie Hanson Christensen. She describes a host of its bygone landmarks such as the Back Creek Bridge, Richwood Toy Company and Feldmeyer’s Farm. And she chronicles its pivotal (and lesser-known) events including when it was platted in 1868, named Eastport in 1887, the site of Prohibition raids and Ku Klux Klan rallies in the 1920s, annexed by the City of Annapolis in 1951 and “rediscovered” in the 1960s by a new group of speculators including Paul Pearson, whose first Eastport development, the Tecumseh, opened in 1968. Ms. Doyel interviewed over 600 citizens and collected nearly 2,000 photographs as she compiled Over the Bridge from January 2007 through April 2008. The book, which features approximately 700 of these images, is more than a story about what the Evening Capital has often called a “sprightly little village across the Spa.” It also puts Eastport’s story into a broader historical context by exploring significant regional trends in work and leisure, industry and development, immigration and race relations, agriculture and maritime culture, politics and population, education, transportation and more. About the author Ginger Doyel received a B.A. in Leadership Studies from the University of Richmond in 2001. She is the award-winning author of Annapolis Vignettes (2005), Gone to Market: The Annapolis Market House, 1698-2005 (2005), The Annapolitan Club: A Tradition of Hospitality since 1897 (2006), and Annapolis from Past to Present, a history column published by The Capital from 2002 through 2006. She is a fourth generation Annapolitan and lives in Annapolis near her family.
