As World War II raged across the world, the lives of every Delawarean changed. Whether wearing a uniform, working in the shipyards and factories that supported the war effort, or volunteering for service organizations, the citizens of Delaware met the challenge of wartime living. Delaware in World War II celebrates the heroism and bravery of those who fought the war on the home front. From school children collecting scrap metal to first-time women factory workers building airplanes, this collection of over 200 photographs examines the many facets of daily life during this tumultuous time. These provocative images show a society united against a common cause and citizens willing to change their lives for a common good. The photographs in this volume were selected from the records of the Delaware Public Archives, including some never before seen images that illustrate a special piece of American history.
On December 7, 1787, at the Golden Fleece Tavern in Dover, Delaware's legislature ratified the United States Constitution, and Delaware thus became "The First State." While still a hub for legislative matters, Dover also boasts a restored downtown, modern industry, rolling farms, and numerous special events that all give the town a unique identity. A few miles away from the bustle of Legislative Hall, horses and carriages still pull Amish farmers along pristine country roads. The memorable photographs and detailed captions in Images of America: Dover offer a fascinating look at the nation's first state capital, including its residents, events, farms, and local architecture.
