Hidden History of Lewes

Book Description
Proudly laying claim to the title of first town in the first state, Lewes, Delaware, has a history brimming with little-known tales of gentleman pirates, desperate acts of cannibalism and a failed British bombardment in the War of 1812. Another attempted invasion occurred in 1853, when raucous New England fishermen intent on having a good time were repelled by residents armed with clubs and an old cannon. In 1926, the Cape Henlopen Lighthouse toppled onto the beach. With the light extinguished, bootleggers had an easier time plying their trade. On January 5, 1932, a captured rumrunner was accidentally set ablaze when an oil slick caught fire on the Lewes and Rehoboth Canal. Author Michael Morgan explores stories of impromptu presidential dips, charismatic preachers, German POW camps and other lost tales from the history of Lewes.

Book Description
The bulk of this collection consists of nearly 500 letters to or from various members of the Perry family and several of their cousins. These cousins include Thomas, Dick, Arabel, and Nannie, and Lou Riser of Talladega County, Alabama, and Ella McLeroy. The correspondence dates from 1857-1917, with the bulk coming from the late 1860s, 1870s, and early 1880s. There are a few letters in the collection that date from the Civil War, including several from William and Sion Jason Perry in 1864 while they were in the Confederate army in eastern Tennessee and at the Siege of Petersburg. The bulk of the letters, though, date from the Reconstruction era. The most common subjects in the letters relate to family and friends, including marriages and other romantic attachments, births, illnesses, and deaths. Some of the letters describe political and military events during Reconstruction. A series of letters from Benjamin Collier, an apparent admirer of Amelia Perry, refer to his membership in a vigilante group. A few letters describe agricultural activities. Many of the letters describe religious activities and beliefs, particularly those of the Methodist minister William Perry. Another topic covered is higher education, as there are a variety of letters from Dick Riser while a student at the University of Virginia (1868-1869); and from Ella McLeroy while a student at the Centenary Female College in Summerfield, Dallas County, Alabama (1869-1870). Some of the letters from Mary Perry Davis describe her long-running legal battle to keep some of her husband's property after his death. Interspersed among the letters are records of Sion Jacob Perry III's business accounts with various merchants. This collection provides an unusually comprehensive portrait of the daily lives of members of a Reconstruction-era extended family.
