The Philadelawareans and Other Essays Relating to Delaware by John A. Munroe, H. Rodney Sharp Professor Emeritus of History, is a potpourri of articles and talks by Munroe on different aspects of Delaware’s early history and, on a more personal note, the story of his career as a noted historian. The book is published by the University of Delaware Press.
The book’s cover features portraits of two leading colonial “Philadelawareans” who had strong ties with both Philadelphia and Delaware—John Dickinson, who had homes in both places, and Thomas McKean, who served simultaneously as a judge in Pennsylvania and as a congressman from Delaware during the American Revolution.
