Hanna, James Milton
Cornbread and Beans for Breakfast: The Misadventures of a Boy Growing Up in the South During the Thirties and Forties
Publisher: Cherokee Books, 2007 Little Creek, DE. ISBN: 096404580x Book. Book condition: Very Good. Trade paperback Signed by Author(s) 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall SIGNED BY the author on title page! Hanna, a resident of Dover, Delaware, has written several books about Delaware and the Delaware Bay, as well as about the South. "Corn Bread & Beans for Breakfast is a humorous and entertaining collection of short non-fiction stories about a young man's experiences growing up in the rural South during and shortly after the Great Depression. All ages relate to the adventures of Milton growing up during a most difficult time in our history. This collection of stories reflects the economic and social conditions that prevailed during that time. Many of the stories reveal people's attitudes and how people lived before television when few teens owned automobiles and the only 'weed' or 'grass' folks knew about was what was hoed from the corn and cotton fields. About the worst thing a teen could do was drink a beer, and none dared do so openly. Children had to be more creative in their pursuit of entertainment and fun, relying more on friends, family and the goodness of nature than today's indoor video-oriented kids. Milton often reflects on how simple his early life was compared with lifestyles of today's teens. He yearns again for those days, a time of dear friends and gentle people, and wonders, as had his grandfather before him, why the younger generation has ''gone to the dogs'." 163 pages. Book is in VERY GOOD condition. Paper wrappers.

Perry, Christopher L.
Russell W. Peterson, Governor of Delaware, 1969-1973
Publisher: The Delaware Heritage Commission, 1999 Wilmington, DE. ISBN: 0924117141 Book. Book condition: Near Fine. Trade paperback 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall Oral History Series - Number Three. "The mid- and late-1960s were a time of extreme political swings, nationally and in the First State. In 1964, Lyndon Johnson's landslide victory over Senator Barry Goldwater showed what coattails can do as Democrats assumed almost total dominance ove3r Delaware government. Thus, when Democrat Charles L. Terry, Jr. took office in 1965, you could count the number of Republicans in the General Assembly on two hands. But the tide turned quickly, and in the 1966 mid-term elections Delaware Republicans won an unexpectedly strong victory. Those gains were largely cemented in 1968, after which the GOP pretty much controlled Delaware government. And the leader of that Republican Party was newly elected Governor Russell W. Peterson. Like his predecessor, Russ Peterson ran for public office only twice - both times for governor, a stark contrast with today's career officeholders. He won a narrow victory in 1968 and was defeated for reelection four years later. THe period between those two elections marked a progressivism and an activism seldom seen in state government. many of the initiatives, and most of the more controversial ones, came from Peterson himself. But as Peterson is the first to admit, few of those initiatives would have found their way into law or practice without a Republican-controlled and reapportioned General Assembly. He also benefited from a reapportioned Republican Party, which increased the clout of New Castle County, along with a well-financed and professional party apparatus. In any event, Peterson's many accomplishments dramatically changed the face of state government. For a man who often seemed to be tilting at windmills, Peterson was remarkably successful in getting what he wanted. Having had the privilege of playing Sancho Panza to Peterson's Don Quixote, I have some reflections of my own on the Peterson years. YHou'll find those in the Author's Afterword. But first, let' shear from one of the most innovative, determined and energetic leaders in recent Delaware history." Illustrated. 281 pages with index. Book is in NEAR FINE (almost new) condition.

Flowers, Thomas A. (The Old Honker)
Shore Folklore: Growing Up with Ghosts, 'n Legends, 'n Tales, 'n Home Remedies
Publisher: Economy Printing Co., 1994 Easton, MD. Book. Book condition: Good to Very Good. Trade paperback Signed by Author(s) 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall "The unifying force that preserves a community's life style may be said to be its folklore, sometimes called folkways. Folklore simply defined would be 'the oral traditions of a segment of people with like backgrounds, language patterns, economic pursuits, and social customs where a degree of isolation has preserved the folkways in their own individually intrinsic form or manner.'..The enhancement of folklore comes from the story-tellers, who are an endangered species with the loss of country stores. This author loved being a nightly visitor to these groups on Hoopers Island. Once, one of the Island's favorite storytellers had started a story, the store was his forum, his stage, his toy. Like a cat with a mouse, he played with his audience's emotions until his last line climaxed in a gale of laughter, a tear that was roughly brushed away, or an unspoken question left on the lips. The men were also prone to play pranks or set up contests. In fact, many of the country stores on the Island staged skeet shooting contests, domino and checker tournaments, and weight lifting exhibitions..This collection of materials spans about fifty years of collecting. I am sure that I have mixed up some names and some details. No attempt has been made to falsify or change the basic information. I have always loved Hoopers Island, South Dorchester, and the Eastern Shore, being extremely proud of its fine people. During the many years that folklore has been taught at the various universities and colleges, I have always shared my collection with the students. It is my belief that fathers, mothers, grandparents, relatives, and the older members of the community have a great legacy in these little stories which young people love. I feel that in the sharing of the oral traditions of the past with them that we build a living tradition of pride and respect. I further believe that folklore is one of the most readily available resources for the teachers of social studies and should be used to inculcate a love and pride in America.." Illustrated with black-and-white period photographs. xviii + 266 pages. Book is in GOOD to VERY GOOD condition; some shelfwear to cover; pages clean; binding tight. Paper wrappers.

Bridges
Publisher: The Cedar Tree Press, Inc., 1995 Wilmington, DE. Book. Book condition: Very Good. No Jacket. Hardcover 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall "..Here we survey the entire northern Delaware country and discover that there once were at least 26 covered bridges within New Castle County. No considered a quaint reminder of bygone times, these bridges played an important part in the economic growth of the norther part of our state. The covering of bridges was also done for economic reasons, not to keep horses from being 'spooked' because they could see over the side of the bridge. The less the deck of a wooden bridge is exposed to the elements, the longer it will last. The person paying for the bridge, whether the county, the state, or aq private party, was willing to spend more to protect his bridge because this extended its economic life. Of course, today's bridges, made of concrete and steel, don't need this protection.." Illustrated with black-and-white photographs. xiii + 105 pages. Book is in VERY GOOD condition. No dust jacket.

Chesapeake Gardens and Homes: The Eastern Shore
Publisher: Simon & Schuster, 1993 New York. Book. Book condition: Very Good. Very Good. Hardcover 4to - over 9¾ - 12" tall "The alluring Eastern Shore of Maryland and Virginia has a long and colorful history dating back to the original land grants of the early 1600s. Its temperate climate and beautiful coastlines have long made it one of the world's most delightful places to live - and play. A haven for sailors, the Chesapeake Bay and its nineteen navigable rives were home to the earliest ports and customs houses in the country. Fertile farmlands were planted in tobacco for the British market until after the Revolution, when the plantations became devoted to food crops and farm animals. The bay's oyster and clam beds and especially its crabs have long been famous around the world. Taylor Lewis and Catherine Fallin take you on a tour up the romantic rivers and down the tree-lined allees to houses and gardens hidden away on the Eastern Shore. Inside these houses is a rich diversity of style, from the most lavish plantation house to the most unusual contemporary home. You will amble through the gardens, down woodland walks, into lush rose gardens, along wild shorelines and marshes, through old-fashioned restored gardens inside brick walls, into vast wildflower meadows - and see everywhere the graceful curves and twists of the shore and its rivers: the Chestet, Miles, and Wye, the Tred Avon, Wicomico, and Pocomoke.."

He has gone on foot with his Danish school bag over his shoulder, ever ready with pens, pencils, magic markers and the journals in which views and ideas are collected for later sorting and savoring. He has traveled in his aging green Mustang, stopping at traffic lights and for pedestrians and finding surprises and treasures where the rest of us might not think to look. He has traveled with his eyes on the roof lines, the back lots and telephone poles of Wilmington. He has also traveled, a lot, around that inner labyrinth, the endless and invisible region of the mind and spirit. 'Doing soul work' he calls it. Asking questions, wrestling with answers, making changes, keeping up a dialogue with himself and others, he constantly realigns the facets and the pathways of his life.."

Zilg, Gerard Colby
Du Pont Behind the Nylon Curtain
Publisher: Prentice-Hall, Inc., 1974 Englewood Cliffs, NJ. ISBN: 0132210770 Book. Book condition: Good to Very Good. Good. Hardcover 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall "The very name Du Pont brings instant recognition and awe. But relatively few people are aware that, in addition to reeating the worldwide industrial colossus that bears their name, the Du Ponts were instrumental in shaping General Motors into the preeminent corporation in this country and the world. And even fewer people are aware that this richest family in the world also has controlling interests in: Continental Can, Uniroyal, Phillips Petroleum, Remington Arms, Penn Central Railroad, United Fruit, First National Bank of New York, Coca-Cola International, North American Rockwell, Boeing, and scores of other companies. Their personal Du Pont fortune is about $10 billion; with some of those billions the family employs more servants than Britain's royal family and owns more yachts, cars, swimming pools, planes, and estates than any family in recorded history. Du Pont: Behind the Nylon Curtain is the first biography of 'the Barons of Brandywine' written without the authorization of the Du Ponts. Gerard Colby Zilg's meticulously researched account goes beyond the carefully contrived public image of a beneficent chemical corporation to reveal a power-hungry family that used every available means - including industrial espionage, sabotage, and conspiracy against the government - to increase their corporate holdings and personal wealth. Zilg also unfolds the tumultuous personal lives of the Du Ponts and the vicious power struggles that tore the family apart.." 623 pages with index. Book is in GOOD to VERY GOOD condition.

Publisher: Gauge Corporation, 1989 Wilmington, DE. ISBN: 0911293035 Book. Book condition: Good to Very Good. Trade paperback 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall "..On July 1, 1989 the ferry service completed 25 years of service. During the 1960's, the operation of the ferry system was difficult. The older vessels which had been acquired from Virginia were not suited to operate efficiently across the Delaware Bay. Traffic usage was slow in developing and revenues lagged far behind the ferry expenses. The most noticeable and favorable turn of events occurred when the Authority decided to sell the older vessels and replace them with new ones in the early 1970's.

Presence in the Parlor: True Stories of Ghostly Encounters in Delaware, Maryland, Virginia and New Jersey
Publisher: Myst and Lace Publishers, Inc., 1997 Elkton, MD. ISBN: 0964324474 Book. Book condition: Very Good. Trade paperback Signed by Author(s) 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall Volume 5. Spirits Between the Bays Series. "Laid out in the parlor..more haunts and horror: 'I made the mistake of reading Presence in the Parlor alone, after dark. As a ghost hunter, I get a bit blase about mysterious footsteps, lights flickering on and off, the feeling of a presence. I was reading along, innocently minding my own business when I found myself suddenly overwhelmed by a nameless fear. Okonowicz lulls the reader into a false sense of security and then - Wham! - he hits you with some terrifying detail that sets you looking back nervously over your shoulder, heart pounding. This expert storyteller can even make a vanishing hitchhiker story fresh and startling. Watch out for the terrified search dogs at the USS Constellation, a haunted parsonage and a rocking chair with a mind of its own. Highly Recommended!' -Chris Woodyard". 106 pages.

Giffin, Vernon O.
The Wreath: Folklore, Legends and Old Recipes of the Eastern Shore
Publisher: Vernon O. Giffin, 1986 Salisbury, MD. ISBN: 0961067438 Book. Book condition: Good. Trade paperback 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall "To me folklore is the history of a passing generation not set down in any so-called history books. It is part of the history of a people which, unless set down on paper now, will be lost forever. This book, at least to some degree, tries to show the living patterns of past generations and also show how some of those patterns and beliefs continue to exist today here on the 'Shore' as they pass by word of mouth from one generation to the next. All stories in this book are based on facts as told me by my resource people. I have changed the names of people and locations in many of my stories for their protection. While it is true that I, myself, have had to write the introduction to many of the stories, the facts given me has been altered very little, if any. So read about a people proud of their past and sure of their future in the 'Land of Pleasant Living." 153 pages. Book is in GOOD condition; soiling to cover. Paper wrappers.

Real Delawareans Don't Pluck Chickens
Publisher: Carlton Press, Inc., 1989 New York. ISBN: 0806234458 Book. Book condition: Near Fine. Very Good. Hardcover 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall "Delaware may be just a bite-sized slice of the American pie, but it sure is tasty. This quirky compendium of the state's lore and humor serves up a veritable feast of local flavor. Real Delawareans will find here everything they ought to know about their native state, while tourists and other furriners will find everything they need to know to put them in a 'Delaware state of mind' - to paraphrase a song written about some other, far less fascinating place. There's even a furriner's guide to the local language - 'Delawords' - so that visitors to this strange land can feel at least like 'weuns, ' if not 'usuns', and never be caught smirking the twitter. All the essential facts are at your fingertips: the vital statistics, the not-so-vital and, most indispensable of all, the downright trivial. There are plenty of Delaquizzes to test your Delawareness, with answers ranging from the historically momentous to the merely hilarious (no cheating allowed!)..And then there are the chickens - plates and barnyards full of them - not to mention all the aysters, the trout who try to pass themselves off as weakfish, and the turkeys (both poultry and humanoid). The author tops off all these Delaware delights with a generous seasoning of nostalgia about the 'good ole Delaware days' and the joys of an ole-time harvest.." Illustrated. 32 pages. This is a SCARCE TITLE that can be difficult to find! Book is in NEAR FINE (almost new) condition! Dust jacket is in VERY GOOD condition.
