Peninsula Roots: A Delmarva Miscellany

More about the book

Peninsula Roots is a loosely organized collection of articles published on the blog of the same name between 2014 and 2020. From the early history of Trap Pond to the controversial origins of strange place-names to a deep dive into Nanticoke Indian genealogy to whether Delaware truly was the First State (spoiler alert: it wasn't), author Christopher Slavens explores a variety of topics relating to the history and folklore of the Delmarva Peninsula.
