Illustrated by Elizabeth Traynor
As the first state to ratify the United States Constitution,
Delaware rightfully earned its nickname of "First State." Though
small in size, it is a treasure trove of history (Fort Delaware),
inventions (the Victrola), and garden wonders (Winterthur). State
symbols such as the Blue Hen Chicken and peach blossom speak to the
character and traditions that formed the state.
Historian Carol Crane loves looking through the kaleidoscope of
the past and has taken many delightful journeys through Delaware.
She loves to imagine her Swedish ancestors coming to this country
on the Kalmar Nyckel, building log cabins, or starting the first
Swedish church in Wilmington. Carol lives with her husband in North
Carolina and travels the country speaking at education conferences
across the nation." F is for First State "is Carol's 11th book with
Sleeping Bear Press.
