Mount Pleasant, SC Arcadia Publishing 2010 8vo stiff paper wrappers 96 pages
New Ark, as it is pronounced and appeared on colonial maps, is located in New Castle County near the borders of Pennsylvania and Maryland. Scotch-Irish and Welsh settlers developed Newark as a market town around the intersection of two Lenni Lenape trails. Newark remained little more than a village throughout its history, reaching a population of only 11,000 by 1960. Today it is over 30,000, with an additional 15,000 students at the University of Delaware.

Author Bio: Author William Francis has witnessed this drastic change and chronicles it in photographs. Signed by the author.

See More... 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.

Charleston, SC History Press (2012) 8vo. stiff paper wrappers. 127+(1) pages.
First edition. In June 1774, New Castles Green was the site of open rebellion, as citizens gathered to protest the actions of the Crown. From the raising of militia to the signing of the Declaration of Independence, New Castle became Delawares leader in supporting the Revolution. Yet this was truly a civil war that divided families, friends and churches, and when General Howe and his British army invaded in 1777, they found many Loyalists to welcome them. Beginning with the earliest protests through the invasion by the British and the subsequent harassment from Royal Navy and loyalist raiders to the communitys role in the new republic and its support of the French Revolution, historian Theodore Corbett traces the tumultuous course of the Revolutionary era in New Castle.

See More... Rendle, Ellen NEW CASTLE COUNTY
Charleston Arcadia Publishing 2010 8vo paper wrappers 127 pages
Of Delaware's three counties, New Castle County is the smallest in area, even though two-thirds of Delaware's residents call it home. Aldous Huxley once mused that "the charm of history and its enigmatic lesson consist in the fact that, from age to age, nothing changes and yet everything is completely different." Certainly this is true of New Castle County. Images of America: New Castle County begins in 1875, as steamboats plied the waters of the Christina and Delaware Rivers and farmers worked the county's fertile farmland. Over the next 100 years, the population skyrocketed 400 percent, and suburban shopping centers and housing developments covered what had been farmland. By 1975, New Castle County boasted corporate giants, the world's largest twin-span bridge, and the stories of individuals as varied as DuPont family members; Emily Bissell, who introduced the Christmas Seal; and thousands of blue-collar workers making automobiles. New Castle County's history is as rich and colorful as the changing of the seasons and the imaginations of those who have lived here.

Author Bio: For more than 20 years, author Ellen Rendle has been the curator of the photograph collection at the Delaware Historical Society. It is her pleasure to share gems from the collection in this book.

See More... Taylor, Mark ARDEN
Charleston Arcadia Publishing 2010 8vo paper wrappers 127 pages
The Village of Arden was founded in 1900 by sculptor Frank Stephens and architect Will Price, both social reformers who sought to create an ideal society based on principles set forth by the American economist Henry George. With funding from Joseph Fels, a wealthy Philadelphia soap manufacturer who also financed C. R. Ashbee's Guild of Handicraft in England, Stephens and Price purchased 162 acres in northern Delaware and named their colony after the Arden forest of William Shakespeare's As You Like It. The community's motto was "You Are Welcome Hither," but Arden's founders did not anticipate the diverse and colorful mix of radicals and progressives their experiment would attract, including Upton Sinclair, muckraking author of The Jungle, and Scott Nearing, author of Living the Good Life. Through photographs, Images of America: Arden explores the early history of one of this country's most vibrant, yet little known, utopian experiments.

Author Bio: Mark Taylor is president of the board of directors for the Arden Craft Shop Museum, an organization that he was instrumental in founding. He has written and lectured extensively on Arden's history.
