From Crossroads to County Seat: A Bicentennial Look at Georgetown, Delaware
Publisher: Georgetown Historical Society / Rogers Graphics, Inc, 1990 Georgetown, DE.
Book. Book condition: Very Good. Good. Hardcover 4to - over 9¾ - 12" tall Oversized hardcover. "There comes a time when memories, even the best of them, begin to fade. Some of the familiar faces and personalities we have cherished pass on and begin to blend with the keen edge of events that happened--was it only yesterday? Homes, public buildings, businesses and schools which housed and were often memorials to all of these cannot always be restored to their original form, eventually disappearing due to neglect or 'progress'. The Georgetown Historical Society is participating in Georgetown's Bicentennial Year of 1991 by publishing this collection of historical material, with many illustrations of documents, buildings, homes, objects, and biographical sketches of prominent persons and legends. Materials, carefully tended by generations of townsfolk, have come from varied sources far and near to a very diligent committee of the Historical Society. It has been a great deal of fun and work to sort through all the resources. In presenting this collection, no effort has been spared to retain original form as nearly as possible. Errors may have been transmitted, but the committee regards this work as a trustworthy and reliable presentation of facts. The committee has tried to be as comprehensive as possible without creating a five volume monster. Due to the amount of material being dealt with, every detail could not possibly be included. We hope you will enjoy and treasure this volume as we have--a work of love." 206 pages. Book is in VERY GOOD condtion. Dust jacket is in GOOD condition; some edgewear and a 1" tear along the bottom of the rear fold .

Publisher: Family Life Publications, 1989 Westminster, MD.
Book. Book condition: Very Good. Trade paperback Signed by Author(s) 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall SIGNED by author on title page: "To Melvin, / Best wishes / Bruce A Bendler / 25 Dec 90". "What began as a genealogical exercise by a descendant of several early assemblymen has developed into much more - a thorough study of colonial Delaware assemblies and their members that will be of great interest to historians as well as to genealogists. Indeed, acquaintance with this publication will be a necessity for any good student of colonial American politics. The bulk of the work consists of a biographical directory of colonial Delaware Assemblymen. The author, Bruce Bendler, presents in compact form the vital statistics for each representative and information concerning his place of birth and residence, his relationships to other people (including especially his connection to other assemblymen), his religion, and his wealth as far as these data can e discovered. The sources used are also noted. A valuable introduction briefly recounts the history of representative government in colonial Delaware, summarizes information regarding the characteristics of the assemblymen, and discusses the nature of the assembly, including such details as organizational structure and continuity of service. As an appendix, the author gives the most nearly complete list extant of the membership of the successive assemblies, with identification of the speakers, who are also listed in the introduction.." xvii + 158 pages with index.

Early Architecture of Delaware
Publisher: Middle Atlantic Press, 1985 Wilmington, DE.
ISBN: 0912608242 Book. Book condition: Very Good. Very Good. Hardcover 4to - over 9¾ - 12" tall Introduction and text by Joseph L. Copeland. "George F. Bennett's Early Architecture of Delaware is a comprehensive study in the form of photographs and detailed drawings, mostly domestic, which show the influence of successive Dutch, SWwedish, and English colonization of the first of these United States. These present-standing buildings cover a long period of time - 1660 to 1840 - and a very wide range of style and type. The stately Georgian dwellings of Dover and New Castle, including many hitherto unpu7blished, are supplemented by scores of those smaller dwellings - of characteristic Delaware brick, stone and frame, wealthy in architectural detail - win which the average man of that day lived out his life. The book grew out of Mr. bennett's interest in the architecture of his native State. In the course of innumerable journeys he visited every 'hundred' (township in other states) of Delaware; penetrating to the out-of-the-way villages and country by-ways often closed to the stranger. Laymen, as well as architects, to whom the small house is always a problem, should be especially interested in the fact that so much time and effort have been given to a reproduction of details of the smaller dwellings and domestic buildings; and also the fact that few of the houses shown had previous publication."

Publisher: Charles E. Merrill Publishing Co., 1968 Columbus, OH.
Book. Book condition: Very Good. No Jacket. Hardcover 4to - over 9¾ - 12" tall Photographs by Gottlieb and Hilda Hampfler; foreword by Henry Francis du Pont. A History of the Gardens by C. Gordon Tyrrell. "The history of the Winterthur gardens as written by Gordon Tyrrell is very complete. His account of their development and Harold Bruce's description of the plantings throughout the garden make me feel that my planting of thirty years ago has been successful. I like to see the shape and size of big shrubs; even though they are always par4t of a group, one has to know when planting just how big and tall the shrubs are going to be. I would mention the Chaenomeles Walk and the Sundial "Garden as examples of this sort of planting. In his study of the garden Mr. Bruce very kindly illustrates what I have tried to accomplish through the years. My work is in the gardens; the story he has written leaves little for me to say except that I hope everyone will enjoy the book as much as I have. Henry Francis du Pont." Beautifully illustrated in both color and black-and-white. 196 pages with index. Book is in VErY GOOD condition. No dust jacket.

Carper, Janice M., Illustrated by: Sawin, Nancy C.
Delaware Sketch Book: An Historical Experience
Publisher: The Holly Press, 1976 Hockessin, DE.
Book. Book condition: Good. Soft cover Signed by Illustrator(s) SIGNED on title page by illustrator Nancy C. Sawin. First Edition (stated). "Delaware Sketch Book is more than an historical experience. It's a warm invitation to hop in a car and discover Delaware 'beyond the pale.' To be sure, artist Nancy Sawin and writer-historian Janice Carper have included landmarks familiar to everyone. But, for the most part, they have concentrated on little-known sites and buildings - homes, churches, graveyards, barns, mills, bridges, log corn cribs. Many7 of the places sketched and researched are in a state of 'rack and ruin', abandoned, vandalized and obscured by heavy growth of weeds, brush and trees. Still, they are rich in legend, history and folklore. Much of it is unrecorded but rather passed down from generation to generation of families that settled in these now forgotten places. They were the pioneers who tilled the land, ran the mills and the shops, lived, worshipped, died and are buried in out-of-the-way cemeteries.." 88 pages. Book is in GOOD condition; discoloration to covers; crease to rear cover. Oblong softcover; paper wrappers with stapled binding.

This Is Good Country: A History of the Amish of Delaware 1915-1988
Publisher: Gordonville Print Shop, 1988 Gordonville, PA.
Book. Book condition: Very Good. No Jacket. Hardcover 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall "The 1963 edition of this book was written as a master's thesis..of the history department at the University of Delaware. Although much had been written about the Amish of Pennsylvania, very little could be found concerning the Amish of Delaware..The thesis traced the details of the settlement of the Amish community from 1915 to 1928, when the second church district was established and it had become apparent that the Amish would stay in Delaware. Since one hundred Amish settlements in the United States have become extinct, the conditions in Delaware contributing to the permanence of the Dover Amish colony were thoroughly explored. No plans were made at that time to publish the history, but several of the Amish requested that copies be made available to them. A chapter dealing with the Amish in relation to the community and an appendix were added to the 1963 edition which has long been out of print. This 1988 revision has been prepared at the request of members and friends of the Amish and Mennonite communities. More additions have been made to the appendix, statistics have been updated, and several photographs added.." Illustrated. 231 pages with index. Book is in VERY GOOD condition. No dust jacket.

"The Nanticoke River is probably one of the least known rivers of the Delmarva Peninsula. Originating in central and southwestern Sussex County, it meanders more than thirty six miles to the Chesapeake Bay from its headwaters northeast of Seaford, Delaware. One writer maintains that little has been written about the Nanticoke because nothing noteworthy ever happened there. The only exception was when the infamous Patty Cannon and her gang of cut-throat slave dealers used the river to transport kidnapped blacks to the Deep South. Because I have lived on the banks of the river for the past 30 years, I have more than a passing curiosity about its past..Since my preliminary research revealed no comprehensive historical study of the settlement of the Nanticoke Watershed, I have attempted to synthesize all of this into one paper which tells the story, for the first time, of some aspects of the region's cultural, social, and economic development." 94 pages.

I just wanted to know how 'Corner Ketch' got its name. Then our good friends.told us the story of 'When the Hessians Came to Mill Creek Hundred.' These stories seemed too good to keep and I sent them to The Newark Post, which printed them with flattering display. Followed then, 'The Iron Hill Irish', and, before I knew it, I was embarked upon a sea of research into local history that included not only a section of the northwest corner of New Castle County, but at times carried me over into parts of Chester County, Pennsylvania, and Cecil County, Maryland, as well, with two additional articles, one of a Jesuit Mission Church in Adams, and the other of a Presbyterian Church in Franklin, both counties of Pennsylvania, and which seemed to tie into other articles I had written or contemplated writing.." xv + 297 pages with index.

Crowe, Pat
Delaware Portrait: Phoitographs From Twenty Years at the News-Journal
Publisher: Portfolio Press, Ltd., 1989 Annapolis, MD.
ISBN: 0929518047 Book. Book condition: Good to Very Good. Good. Hardcover Signed by Author(s) 4to - over 9¾ - 12" tall SIGNED by author on half-title page. FIRST EDITION (stated). "'People have always been my favorite photographic subjects.' Looking at the world through the eyes of photographer Pat Crowe, you will come to appreciate his belief that 'there are no ordinary people.' A witness to the human struggle, an explorer of the soul, Crowe has for the past twenty years turned his camera on an intimate state - the nation's second smallest state, Delaware. As an award-winning photographer for Wilmington's News-Journal, he has picked up countless assignment slips to cover fires, accidents, and violent crimes. And in this exposure to tragedy he found a mission: to record the simple but often clouded truth that the world is also flush with joy, laughter, dignity, and purpose. Crowe is a visual storyteller whose honest acceptance - and appreciation - of people as they are allows his subjects to share their lives in a way that enriches ours. A blind man deftly walks the streets of Wilmington selling brooms made by his blind friends. A priory nun leans on her dust mop, shy, yet amused by the camera. Children share their dreams and toys with someone who has time for them - a man confined to a wheelchair. PUrsuing his 'second love', Crowe has captured the tranquility of Delaware's landscapes and wildlife. A blue heron ruffles the marsh, fog cloaks a country church, a plowed field soaks in rain. Compassionate and imaginative Pat Crowe connects us with images of 'the soothing side of life.'" 135 pages. Book is in GOOD to VERY GOOD condition. Dust jacket is in GOOD condition; edgewear.

ISBN: 0806234458 Book. Book condition: Near Fine. Good. Hardcover 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall "Delaware may be just a bite-sized slice of the American pie, but it sure is tasty. This quirky compendium of the state's lore and humor serves up a veritable feast of local flavor. Real Delawareans will find here everything they ought to know about their native state, while tourists and other furriners will find everything they need to know to put them in a 'Delaware state of mind' - to paraphrase a song written about some other, far less fascinating place. There's even a furriner's guide to the local language - 'Delawords' - so that visitors to this strange land can feel at least like 'weuns, ' if not 'usuns', and never be caught smirking the twitter. All the essential facts are at your fingertips: the vital statistics, the not-so-vital and, most indispensable of all, the downright trivial. There are plenty of Delaquizzes to test your Delawareness, with answers ranging from the historically momentous to the merely hilarious (no cheating allowed!)..And then there are the chickens - plates and barnyards full of them - not to mention all the aysters, the trout who try to pass themselves off as weakfish, and the turkeys (both poultry and humanoid). The author tops off all these Delaware delights with a generous seasoning of nostalgia about the 'good ole Delaware days' and the joys of an ole-time harvest.." Illustrated. 32 pages. This is a SCARCE TITLE that can be difficult to find! Book is in NEAR FINE (almost new) condition! Dust jacket is in GOOD condition; 1/2" tear to dust jacket on front panel near spine.
