Rebels, soldiers and watermen have all toiled and roamed among the fields, bays and beaches of Sussex County. With grit and ingenuity they built strong communities that could face the onslaught of storms and sun seekers. From tales of the Black Camp Rebellion and the infamous Patty Cannon to stories of practical jokesters who brought a swamp monster to life, local author James Diehl brings together a fascinating and whimsical collection of vignettes that paints a portrait of Delaware's largest county. Between its sunny coast and green fields lie the small towns that the hardworking and hospitable people of Sussex County call home.

Sussex County history,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Remembering Sussex County (DE): From Zwaanendael to King Chicken (American Chronicles (History Press)) (Paperback)
I am really enjoying this litle book. I have been going to Rehoboth Beach with family each summer for 30 years, and have taken different routes and taken different drives. I have learned so much from the book. It's just enough to be enjoyable, not a 'textbook' type read. If there's something I want to know more about, I can do some research. I was born in Wilmington (DE) and it's fun to learn more about the state. I've always known there's a big difference between the northern end and the southern part - didn't realize the south has a rich history too.
