Charlotte Taylor Fryar is a writer, historian, educator, and herbalist. She holds a PhD in American Studies from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and lives in Glen Echo, Maryland, less than seven hundred feet from the banks of the Potomac River. Potomac Fever: Reflections on the Nation's River is her first book.
“Written with verve and a profound understanding of the contradictions of American democracy. . . . Readers might curl up with [Fryar’s] book in the comfort of home or, after visiting the Lincoln Memorial and Washington Monument, take it with them on a stroll along [the Potomac]. . . . A lovely ode to an oft-neglected river.” —Kirkus Reviews “For readers looking for a different lens through which to view the U.S. capital and to see both the ugly impacts of racism and the beauty of nature.” —Library Journal “Fryar seamlessly weaves a fascinating history of racial, class, and gendered divisions that exist in and outside of Washington, D.C.’s quintessential worlds of interrelated nature and American (in)humanity.” —Marcie Cohen Ferris, coeditor of Southern Cultures journal and author of The Edible South
