350 Years of New Castle, Delaware,
By Kim Burdick (Wilmington, DE) - See all my reviews
This review is from: 350 Years of New Castle, Delaware: Chapters in a Town's History (Hardcover)
Anyone who has visited this quaint and delightful town will love Connie Cooper's collection of essays about historic New Castle. Dr. Cooper is the Manuscript Librarian of the Historical Society of Delaware and her thoughtful manner is reflected in her choices of articles for this volume. I was particularly pleased to discover an essay about the Dutch in New Castle by C.A. Weslager; a 1795 description of the town by the Duke de la Rochefoucault; and Deborah Van Riper Harper's essay "The Gospel of New Castle: Historic Preservation in a Delaware Town,"which focuses on the work of Daniel Bates and mentions Louise Crowninshield. The book is fun to read, a refreshing piece of scholarship, and beautifully printed by Cedar Tree Press. It is a real collector's item that will give pleasure to readers for many generations to come.
