Originally known as the Three Lower Counties of Pennsylvania, the First State was instrumental in the fight to form a new republic. The Marquis de Lafayette, Nathanael Greene and George Washington all made trips to the state. Caesar Rodney's ride and the Battle of Cooch's Bridge are legendary, but the state has many unsung heroes. Citizens from every village, town, crossroads and marsh risked their lives to support their beliefs. Author Kim Burdick offers the carefully documented story of ordinary people coping with extraordinary circumstances."--Page [4] of cover.DelawareHistoryRevolution, 1775-1783973.309751Burdick Kim1948-1247539MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910157377503321Revolutionary Delaware2891963UNINA
