Synopsis

Once Upon A Time In Delaware is a historical novel written by Katharine Pyle in 1911. The story is set in colonial Delaware during the 18th century and follows the lives of the Penns, a wealthy Quaker family, and their interactions with the Native American Lenape tribe. The novel explores themes of cultural clash, love, and acceptance. The main character, Ruth Penn, falls in love with a Lenape warrior named Wingenund, and their relationship is tested by the prejudices and traditions of their respective communities. The novel is rich in historical detail and provides a vivid portrayal of life in colonial Delaware. It is a timeless tale of love and acceptance that transcends cultural boundaries.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Editor s Preface This book is prepared by the Delaware Society of the Colonial Dames of America for the use, primarily, of the children of Delaware, in school and out I ts style and matter are therefore chosen to suit young readers. Many historical points in these stories are more or less disputed. The original sources do not always agree. In preparing these stories of Delaware for childrens reading, it has been thought best to use anecdotes and interesting traditions whenever they could be found. The result is a substantially true set of stories, which do not however, undertake to settle the facts in any disputed case, but are designed to leave in a childs mind the broad outlines of Delaware history. The stories have all been read and revised by the late Hon. Alexander B. Cooper of New Castle, to whom the thanks of the Colonial Dames are due for his wise and constant help. The Rev. Joseph B. Turner, of Dover, has also kindly read over several of the stories, and Judge Richard S. Rodney has revised this second edition.
