The Story of Christ Church Christiana Hundred and its People

VERY GOOD in a very good dust jacket. No marks, Binding is tight and square. 211 pages illustrations 24 cm . . . . . . FROM THE DUST JACKET FLAP: This is a fast moving, colorful picture of a famous Delaware Church and the people that shaped its character, starting with the early days of the Brandywine Manufacturers' Sunday School in 1815, from which Christ Church grew to be organized in 1851, and on to the Church's 100th year in 1951. It abounds in legends and entertaining anecdotes about well known personalities and people in all walks of life. Here for the first time is the story of how Capt. Samuel F. duPont, a naval officer, Victorine Bauduy, the Rev. Samuel C. Brinckle, and Bishop Alfred Lee, the first Episcopal Bishop of Delaware, came to organize a church that stands today as one of the largest and finest in the state of Delaware. The author has dug into hundreds of letters, manuscripts, family histories, convention journals, and diaries to extract a heart warming narrative about not only a church but an entire community. Old timers have told him their reminiscences and the legends that were related to them by their parents, and Mr. Silliman has woven them into a tale as factual and true to life as it is possible to make it.
