Synopsis
Delaware did not begin as a state. It began as a river.
Long before it was called the First State, the Delaware Valley was a contested corridor of trade, diplomacy, and empire. Lenape communities moved seasonally along its banks. Dutch merchants mapped its waters. Swedish settlers built forts. English governors claimed authority. By the time revolution arrived, the region had already endured a century of rivalry, negotiation, and reinvention.
This narrative history traces Delaware's transformation from Native homeland to imperial outpost to revolutionary state. Moving from New Sweden and New Netherland through English rule and into the War for Independence, it examines how local communities navigated competing empires, shifting alliances, and the pressures of war.
Blending political history with the lived experience of the river and its people, this book tells the story of how a small colony became the First State.
