Product Description
Webster's bibliographic and event-based timelines are comprehensive in scope, covering virtually all topics, geographic locations and people. They do so from a linguistic point of view, and in the case of this book, the focus is on "Delaware River," including when used in literature (e.g. all authors that might have Delaware River in their name). As such, this book represents the largest compilation of timeline events associated with Delaware River when it is used in proper noun form. Webster's timelines cover bibliographic citations, patented inventions, as well as non-conventional and alternative meanings which capture ambiguities in usage. These furthermore cover all parts of speech (possessive, institutional usage, geographic usage) and contexts, including pop culture, the arts, social sciences (linguistics, history, geography, economics, sociology, political science), business, computer science, literature, law, medicine, psychology, mathematics, chemistry, physics, biology and other physical sciences. This "data dump" results in a comprehensive set of entries for a bibliographic and/or event-based timeline on the proper name Delaware River, since editorial decisions to include or exclude events is purely a linguistic process. The resulting entries are used under license or with permission, used under "fair use" conditions, used in agreement with the original authors, or are in the public domain. ... Read more

Purchase includes free access to book updates online and a free trial membership in the publisher's book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt:Wilmington Montessori School is a Montessori elementary school located in Wilmington, Delaware, USA. Currently, the school has more than 360 students on a 25-acre (100,000 m) campus and is recognized as Delaware's oldest and largest Montessori school. Its facility has over 30 classrooms, including a library, gymnasium, performance stage, music and arts rooms and outdoor playing fields. The curriculum is rooted in Montessori principles found in the Montessori Method. The school implements an open-ended curriculum intended to allow students to progress at their own pace. Montessori classrooms are multi-age, operating on the philosophy that the youngest children learn by watching the older children and the oldest children demonstrate true understanding of a concept when they can explain it to a younger child. This method is intended not only to teach children to collaborate and work together but also to inspire them to strive for their personal best in a non-competitive atmosphere. The social curriculum emphasizes the concepts of grace and courtesy throughout the program levels. In 1963 the school was initiated by a group of Delaware parents. It began as Wilmington Montessori Association with fourteen children in a storefront in downtown Wilmington. The school later moved to the Buzz Ware Village Center in Arden. On November 14, 2008, Wilmington Montessori initiated a school-wide single-stream recycling program to help the school reduce its carbon footprint and to teach its students the habit of recycling and the benefits to the Earth. The program was supplemented with a grant from Delaware's Department of Natural Resources ... Read more

Purchase includes a free trial membership in the publisher's book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: Josiah Oliver Wolcott (October 31, 1877 - November 11, 1938) was an American lawyer, politician and judge, from Dover, in Kent County, Delaware. He was a member of the Democratic Party, who served as Attorney General of Delaware, U.S. Senator from Delaware, and Chancellor of Delaware. Wolcott was born in Dover, Delaware, attended the Wilmington Conference Academy, now Wesley College, at Dover, and graduated from Wesleyan University, Middletown, Connecticut. He was admitted to the Delaware Bar in 1904 and began the practice of law at Wilmington, Delaware. Wolcott was Deputy Delaware Attorney General from 1909 until 1913, elected Delaware Attorney General in 1912 and served from January 21, 1913, until January 16, 1917. In the first popular election of a U.S. Senator in Delaware, he was elected to the U.S. Senate in 1916, defeating incumbent Republican U.S. Senator Henry A. du Pont. During this term, Wolcott served with the Democratic majority in the 65th Congress, but was in the minority in the 66th and 67th Congress.

Product Description
"This is the story that I tell my grandchildren at Christmas. I hope that this book will bring the tradition of sharing history to families all across America."-- Lynne Cheney

Christmas night, 1776, was a troubled time for our young country. In the six months since the Declaration of Independence had been signed, General George Washington and his troops had suffered defeat after defeat at the hands of the British. It looked as though our struggle for independence might be doomed, when Washington made a bold decision. He would lead the main body of his army across the Delaware River and launch a surprise attack on enemy forces.

Washington and his men were going against the odds. It seemed impossible that the ragtag Americans could succeed against the mightiest power in the world. But the men who started across the icy Delaware loved their country and their leader. Under his command they would turn the tide of battle and change the course of history.

Best-selling author Lynne Cheney tells the dramatic story of the military campaign that began on Christmas night in 1776. When Washington Crossed the Delaware will teach the young about the heroism, persistence, and patriotism of those who came before them. ... Read more

The best history book on our shelf
"When Washington Crossed the Delaware" is so well written and interesting that my six year old asks to read it over and over.I read this book to all of my children (ages 6 - 11), it held their attention, and weeks later they still remembered the story of Washington crossing the Delaware.We like this book so much I plan on purchasing Lynne Cheney's book about the Constitution.

WHEN WASHINGTON CROSSED THE DELAWARE
VERY INSTRUCTIVE BOOK SPECIALLY FOR THE NEW GENERATION. I AM VERY SATISFIED WITH THIS BOOK. I REQUESTED IT FOR MY GRANDCHILD. GOD BLESS UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

Great book
This book is wonderful. Adults should read it too & learn some powerful history lessons for life.

An inspirational story set to a picture book
Here's a beautiful addition to anyone's library. It's the story of the Christmas night crossing of the Continental Army during the darkest days of the Revolutionary War.

The pictures, or actually paintings done here to accompany the text are worth the price of the book alone.

Pick it up to read and revisit, well worth the money spent.

Great book for kids of all ages
I purchased this book to read to my granddaughter's 1st grade class, having taken her mom 26 years ago to see Washington's Crossing Pa. on Christmas morning to see the reenactment of the crossing. I go there each week to read a story to the class and in April their school program featured all patriotic songs. The story covered Washington's retreat across the Delaware, the crossing and Battle of Trenton, and the subsequent Battle of Princeton, as well as ending with a one page tribute to the patriots. The children stayed with me through every page and asked several good questions, though the book was perhaps better targeted for 3rd or 4th graders. I would recommend it for anyone trying to pass on to youngsters an appreciation of this important chapter in our history and the sacrifice of our forefathers. ... Read more

Everything young students need to know about Delaware colony
If you were always wondering why Delaware was the first state to ratify the Constitution, Stuart A. Kallen provides the explanation in the introduction to this volume from The Thirteen Colonies series. Larger only than Rhode Island, all of the colonists who lived in Delaware's thee counties were close to the capital city, whether it was New Castle or (after 1777) Dover. Consequently, making decisions was relatively easy for the colonists of Delaware, who were under Dutch, Swedish, English, and American governments in colonial times and had to fend off the claims of New York, Maryland, and especially Pennsylvania at various times. In this volume, Kallen tells you everything you might ever need to know about the colony of Delaware, which because of its central location was essentially at the crossroads of American history and culture.

These volumes in The Thirteen Colonies series follow a rather standard pattern in terms of their five chapters: (1) First Contact talks about the Lenape tribe, the first known inhabitants of Delaware, and the arrival of Henry Hudson and the Dutch traders; (2) European Settlement refers to the establishment of New Sweden, which was then taken over by first the Dutch and then the English; (3) Daily Life in Colonial Delaware covers a wide variety of topics: religion and government, farming and milling, immigration, indentured servants, and slavery; (4) Delaware During the Revolution actually goes back to the French and Indian War to set up the taxation without representation issue, and the chapter is devotes as much time to the American Revolution in general as it does to specifically what happened in Delaware during the war; and (5) After Independence also talks both generally about the move towards the Constitution and Delaware's role in the process, as well as the industries developed by the new state.

Once again I am rather surprised at how much about a lesser known colony is worked into these informative little volumes. "Delaware" has black & white illustrations of the times and people who helped shape its history and makes excellent use of primary and secondary source quotations. The back of the book contains a chronology of the colony from 1609 when Henry Hudson sailed into Delaware Bay to 1792 when representatives met in Dover to write a new state constitution, along with notes, a couple of lists of reference books, and an index. The Thirteen Colonies series is very informative and will serve young students being asked to research a particular colony a perfect place to begin their investigation. Certainly they will learn more details about Delaware than they will ever uncover in a standard American history textbook. ... Read more
