Description
Most people know that Delaware is "the First State." But how it became a state at all, rather than part of Maryland or Pennsylvania, is another story ... It's existence as an independent state and its present shape and size were the result of an epic legal battle in the English courts between William Penn, proprietor of Pennsylvania, and Lord Baltimore, proprietor of Maryland. -- Cover p.4
