A Book by Albert N. Henley, Jr.
Virginia Beach author looks at Back Bay’s gifts to generations
In addition to discussing what the bay and land gave local watermen and farmers, Henley has a unique view of the historic Horn Point Club, where his parents worked as manager and caretaker.
Henley had a unique experience in his childhood due to the connection to the lodge. His family also hunted, fished and guided guests seeking duck, and the text includes images of the club, duck blinds and guides.
“You made a living off the water and the land,” Henley said in an interview recently at his home. “Generations of my family and people who lived here lived that way. … If it wasn’t for this body of water called Back Bay, a lot of those families would never have survived.”
