Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book, first published in 1895, describes the Delaware River and its history: how it was settled, the industries that thrived along its banks, and the importance of the river to the nation's economy, trade, and expansion. The author recounts the founding of Philadelphia, the nation's first capital, and the construction of the first US Navy Yard. It contains interesting details on topics such as the shipbuilding industry, the introduction of steam-powered ships, and the struggle to locate the best quarantine stations to protect the burgeoning cities along the river from disease. Its keen insights into the history, industries, and health concerns of Philadelphia and the Delaware Valley are of great use to historians and those interested in the region.
