Synopsis

Once Upon A Time In Delaware is a historical fiction novel written by Katharine Pyle and first published in 1911. The book is set in the early 18th century and follows the story of a young girl named Rachel. Rachel is a member of the Lenape tribe, who have lived in Delaware for generations. However, as white settlers begin to encroach on their land, Rachel and her tribe are forced to make difficult decisions about their future.The novel explores themes of cultural identity, displacement, and the clash between different ways of life. Rachel must navigate the complexities of her own identity as a Lenape woman, while also trying to protect her tribe from the growing threat of the white settlers. Along the way, she forms relationships with both Native and non-Native characters, and must confront the harsh realities of life in a rapidly changing world.Pyle's writing is vivid and engaging, bringing to life the natural beauty of Delaware and the struggles faced by its inhabitants. The novel is both a compelling work of fiction and a valuable historical document, shedding light on a little-known chapter of American history. Overall, Once Upon A Time In Delaware is a thought-provoking and moving novel that will appeal to readers interested in history, culture, and the human experience.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.
