See More... Camp, Orlando J. and Ed Kee THE MILFORD ELEVEN, INTEGRATION ROBBED HOPE FROM ELEVEN BLACK STUDENTS.
Wilmington Cedar Tree Books (2011) 8vo. stiff paper wrappers. xiv, 186 pages.
First edition. The journey for the Milford Eleven was through one of the ugliest periods in Delaware history and it changed their lives forever. This is a compelling story about how racism in a small town changed the lives of eleven black students. This is a story about racism and how racism eliminated possibilities and destroyed dreams. This is the story of those students thrust into integration, a town afraid of change, and the legacy of these two opposing groups. This small town could have made history; it could have been a leader in the integration of schools in Delaware and the nation. But it failed to try and failed eleven young adults. The promises of the Supreme Court under its ruling of Brown v Board of Education were never kept. On May 17, 1954, the Supreme Court of the United States outlawed segregation in public schools. This decision was momentous; it meant the end of a system that was unjust and degraded blacks. For these students it meant they had a chance to get an equal education in the public schools of Delaware, but it was not meant to be.

See More... (Chesapeake and Delaware Canal Company) JOURNAL E: C & D.
N.P. n.p. 1888-1893 folio original full calf, raised bands on spine, title and decorations gilt-stamped 483+(1) pages
Massive ledger of the Chesapeake and Delaware Canal Company, April 30, 1888 to January 1893. Includes the company's expenditures. Among the entries are many purchases of coal, mostly from the Lehigh Coal and Iron Co., Aurora Coal, and the Philadelphia and Reading Coal and Iron Co. Coal was used to operate the locks used by the canal. The Chesapeake and Delaware Canal connects the Delaware River and the Chesapeake Bay, across the northern end of the Delmarva peninsula. First envisioned in the mid-1600s by Augustine Herman, more serious consideration of the construction of the canal began in the late 18th century. The Chesapeake and Delawre Canal Company was incorporated in 1802 by the legislatures of Pennsylvania, Maryland and Delaware. Construction began in 1804 but was halted in 1806 by lack of funding. The company was reorganized in 1822, and construction resumed in 1824. The canal opened for business in 1829, with a lock system in place from its opening until 1919. The company operated the canal until 1919, when the U.S. government purchased it. It is currently operated by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. See Ralph D. Gray, The National Waterway: a History of the Chesapeake and Delaware Canal, 1769-1985 (Urbanna: University of Illinois Press, 1989). Marbled pastedowns and endpapers. Boards and spine show minor scuffing and rubbing at edges. Well preserved ledger with all pages filled in with accounting information.
