Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of the State of Delaware: From Its First Settlement Until the Present Time, Containing a Full Account of the First Dutch and Swedish Settlements, With a Description of Its Geography and Geology This State having been first discovered by the Dutch, and the first settlement made by them and the Swedes, its early history must necessarily be found in those languages. These two nations inha bited the Delaware between them, and struggled for mastery, until finally the former. Reduced the latter to subjection. The Dutch officials on the Delaware sent a regular account to New York of every matter of in terest. The New York officials sent copies of those accounts to Holland. The Swedes on the Delaware sent accounts to Sweden. These several accounts, both Dutch and Swedish, have many of them been preserved either m the original manuscripts, or by re cord in books, and it is from these records and cotem porary works, written by Dutch and Swedish authors, that we are enabled to get a minute and circumstan tial account of our early history. The Dutch records by the liberality of the State of New York have been translated into English, by Broadhead and o'callighan, and published in thirty large volumes. Among these records are the letters of Budde and Beekman both of whom minutely record the occurrences on the Delaware. The corres pondence of the latter, who was governor of the ter ritory of the northern side of the Christiana, is espe cially valuable, containing, as it does, a succinct record of the events in the territory that now comprises this State from 1659 to 1664. The Swedish documents, from which we extract our principal information in relation to Swedish affairs, were furnished by Mr. Russell, our former minister to Sweden, to the American Philosophical Society of Philadelphia. They were translated and published several years ago in the Register of Pennsylvania. One of the most useful (though also, in some instances, one of the most inac curate, ) of Swedish works is that entitled, A Short Description of the Province of New Sweden, by Tito mas C'ampanias, of Holme, printed at Stockholm in the year 1702, under the patronage of Charles the 12th.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the 1930s in the United States, the Works Progress Administration developed the Federal Writers’ Project to support writers and artists while making a national effort to document the country’s shared history and culture. The American Guide series consists of individual guides to each of the states. Little-known authors—many of whom would later become celebrated literary figures—were commissioned to write these important books. John Steinbeck, Saul Bellow, Zora Neale Hurston, and Ralph Ellison are among the more than 6,000 writers, editors, historians, and researchers who documented this celebration of local histories. Photographs, drawings, driving tours, detailed descriptions of towns, and rich cultural details exhibit each state’s unique flavor. The WPA Guide to Delaware takes the reader on a journey through the coastal beauty of the state, from the Twelve-Mile Circle to the Nanticoke River. Although Delaware is the second smallest state in terms of area, the guide offers 27 driving tours accompanied by engaging photographs and pen-and-ink drawings. Published in 1938, this guide to the First State, also details Delaware’s rich history.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume provides a comprehensive analysis of both the historical and the contemporary dimensions of the politics and government of the First State. Once a sparsely populated, agrarian, and relatively insignificant polity, Delaware has become a densely and diversely populated financial and legal center often called the corporation capital of the world. Delaware s prime location has been central to its development and transition from a goods-producing economy to a fast-growing, service-based economy. Despite its diminutive size, Delaware is, in many ways, the nation s preferred corporate home. William W. Boyer and Edward C. Ratledge provide an overview of Delaware s history, structure, and present politics and explain why one of the smallest states in the country is also one of the most powerful. Delaware continually promotes pro-business legislation, business and public objectives are entwined, and privatization is a dominant theme in public affairs. The state has an individualistic political order in which public participation is indirect and citizen activism is limited.
