First edition. This long-awaited biography brings to life the remarkable printer, politician and sage, Everett Johnson.

For the next generation, through his books, newspaper articles, and public service, he struggled to champion a series of social causes and became known as the "Conscience of Delaware." This very readable book includes Robert Barnes' comprehensive bibliography of Johnson's works.

Lee, Laura M. & Brendan Mackie FORT DELAWARE
Mount Pleasant, SC Arcadia Publishing 2010 8vo stiff paper wrappers 128 pages
Located on Pea Patch Island, Fort Delaware was erected to defend local ports from enemy attack but never received or fired a shot in anger. The first earthen-work version, constructed during the War of 1812, was followed by a second 1820s plan incorporating a masonry star design with a network of drainage ditches. Engineering issues and a low-lying site doomed the structure; in 1831, it was irreparably damaged by fire. A new plan created a more substantial fortification still standing to this day. Fort Delaware evolved into a well-established community that transformed from protector to notorious Civil War prison camp. Most widely known as a prison, it subsequently served in lesser roles through three more conflicts. Images of America: Fort Delaware unifies an amazing pictorial record of Fort Delaware's historical timeline. The story is not only of active duty but its rescue from abandonment and subsequent successful preservation work.

Author Bio: Laura M. Lee is interpretive program manager and historian at Fort Delaware State Park. Brendan Mackie is a member of the Delaware Army National Guard and the Fort Delaware Society. The images within the book have been graciously shared by the Fort Delaware Society, Delaware Public Archives, and private collections. Signed by the author.
