Delaware's agricultural traditions have helped define the state for generations. Farmers and millers were part of the Breadbasket of the Revolution, providing critically important wheat and flour for George Washington's armies. In the 19th century, Delaware became known as the Peach State, shipping fresh peaches by rail to urban markets throughout the eastern United States. In 1855, the first cannery on the Delmarva Peninsula started operations in Dover, inaugurating a still viable and active agricultural industry. Sussex County, Delaware, is the birthplace of the modern broiler chicken industry, beginning with an accidental experiment on Cecile Steele's Ocean View farm in 1923. This agricultural heritage continues; 42 percent of Delaware's land mass remains in farms, despite significant land development since World War II.

Delaware Farming (Images of America Series)
It was rather boring but I still like the pictures. It seemed like it was the same thing, page after page. I think it would have been nice if the definition of early Snohomish could have broadened to say, 1950. Perhaps images of how the town changed with the depression and WWII would have made it more interesting. Also, my complaint about these Images of America are always about the white people. I want to hear more about the tribes, even if there are not many pictures. I do want to give kudos to the author for mentioning the Chinese ppl though. Of the IoA books I've read, this is the first time I've heard them mentioned. But I still want to know more, even the stuff the ppl of these towns are embarrassed about today. The true image of America is not as one-sided as shown.
