The Great Depression transformed Delaware more than any other event
in the modern history of the state. Through vintage photographs,
this volume records both the gentle philanthropy of the people and
the crushing poverty experienced by 11,000 citizens left
chronically unemployed for more than a decade. It portrays the
balance between agriculture and industry that defines Delaware as a
state. These images show a generation that was born during the 1918
flu epidemic, lived through the worst economic slump of the 20th
century, and fought and won war against German fascism and Japanese
imperialism. Images of America: Delaware in the Great Depression
records the story of the extraordinary people who fundamentally
changed the way politics, industry, conservation, and agriculture
combine to build a society and how the technological revolutions in
this small state helped lay the foundation for the modern world.
