The most extensive pictorial and written word on the DL&W ever published. A multitude of B&W photographs of engines, cars & equipment, stations, lineside structures, construction projects and local industries. Schedules, Maps and trackage arrangements at yards and industries served by the DL&W. A must have three volume set of the most complete and authoritative work on the subject.

A thoroughly enjoyable book, especially for those familiar with Ocean City, MD and the Delaware beaches. Every summer these beaches swell to the sizes of large cities with visitors looking for sun and relaxation by the Atlantic. "Down the Ocean" takes you back, in picture postcards, to a time when these beaches were just gaining their popularity. Early hotels are shown in their heyday. There are views of the Boardwalks and of people in the sun bathing outfits of the early 1900's. I had so much fun with this book I finished it in one sitting and would highly recommend it to others!

If you want to know what attractions, special events, motels, and restaurants are in an area before you plan your trip, this is the guide book for you. It includes maps, short narratives about the area, pricing, and complete information so you can call or e-mail ahead. Also, there are sections for travelers with special interests or needs. It is the best -- comprehensive, well-organized, and helpful!

This Frommer's Guide got me where I wanted to go -- and pointed out a few places that I never would have thought of. Sure, it's a great guide for Baltimore, Annapolis, the Eastern Shore. The information on area restaurants, hotels and tourist attractions are great. Plus there were some interesting tidbits about out-of-the-way places worth a visit. I never thought about a trip to Wilmington for instance. Yet after reading this book I found some great places to visit: good restaurants, a beautiful inn, and an intriguing contemporary museum, for instance.
The reviews were accurate and didn't steer me wrong once. It's a solid guide for both states.

A well-crafted pictorial history, Dr. Dietz combines the history of Wilmington (DE) Country Club with historical trivia to craft his work into a relevant snapshot of Wilmington's history. This book is a must-have for any members or guests of Wilmington Country Club as well as any historians specializing in the history of Wilmington or golf in America.

This excellent book gives a keen insight into the lives of the Delaware People. As a missionary to the American Indians in the early 1700's, John Heckewelder set to understanding these people inorder to bring to them the Gospel of Jesus Christ. This book was actually written to his supporters not only for them to understand what he was doing, but also to train other missionaries before sending them into the wilderness. With clear descriptions and an almost overwhelming amount of understandable detail, Mr. Heckewelder brings to life the People whom he loved and understood. It is a great resource for novelists with not only the descriptions of everyday life as well as special situations or celebrations, but he also adds in the back a vocabulary and phrase listing that is most helpful. He covers every part of their lives~ food, marriage, birth and death and every thing in between With his understanding of The People, and the way they think, he has brought to light many of the reasons behind the wars between the whites and Indians for the generations that followed. If only the men of his time had tried to understand The People as he did, perhaps many a death would have been avoided. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is interested in the TRUTH about how the Deleware People lived in the 1700's.

Patience Essah's book is a landmark work on a seldom-studied area of American history: the question of slavery in Delaware. While books on slavery in larger states abound, and books on slavery nation-wide are myriad, neither truly addresses this issue in the First State, Delaware. What makes the subject so important, and what Essah illustrates so well, is that slavery in Delaware is slavery at the margin. Just south of the Mason-Dixon line, Delaware seemed more often to be drawn to Philadelphia than Baltimore or Richmond. As a state torn between these two powerful poles of attraction, Delaware featured the liveliest debate over slavery of any state in the Union. The Quaker and Methodist influences coupled with soil depletion served to make the preservation of slavery in Delaware precarious, and the political climate surrounding the peculiar institution, galvanic. Essah adequately portrays the struggle for emancipation in Delaware and gets to the heart of the anti-slavery struggle. The only criticism one could make is that she does not address the organization and methods of the pro-slavery forces as well as she does for the anti-slavery groups. A closer look at that side of the issue would lend greater understanding to the epic struggle between the forces of slavery and freedom in Delaware. All in all, a good book, and the best one available on the subject.

As a Delaware native and resident, I found this book to be stunning pictorial of The First State. This book has taken up full time residence on my coffee table, and I have given it as a gift on several occasions. I would recommend this book to all who have visited, lived in, or living in Delaware, as this book is sure to delight the visual sense.

"The Judas Pool" is without a doubt one of the best mystery novels I've read in years. As a former teacher and resident of Lewes, Delaware, I really appreciated the atmosphere. I just hope that George Owens will continue to write books this good!
