An illustrated history by William Henry Williams In Delaware: the First State, he reveals a past which defies patterns, predictions, and sociological labels - a heritage which embraces progress and occasionally, hypocrisy. Delaware's nickname, the First State, rings patriotism as loudly as the Liberty Bell.
