Room Enough: The Story of the Founding of Rehoboth Beach

More about the book

Room Enough portrays the dramatic story of the founding of Rehoboth Beach as a seaside camp meeting revival venue by Rev. Robert Todd in 1873 and how the town grew and became a more secular resort for all, even the sinners, within eight short years. "In Room Enough, Roger Truitt has accurately and sensitively addressed the significant history of the development of the Methodist Camp Meeting in Rehoboth Beach with the cultural diversity and challenges this movement experienced from its inception." -Rev. Dr. Jonathan Baker, retired pastor, Epworth United Methodist Church "Room Enough tells the little-known story of Rehoboth Beach's founding...this story offers insight into the lives of the community's founders." -C. Russell McCabe, State Archivist of Delaware (Retired) "Room Enough captures the reader's attention with memorable characters and their compelling stories of life in the late nineteenth century." -Denise Clemons, Archivist, Lewes Historical Society.
