Rich in intriguing anecdotes, the history of Lewes, Delaware, features tales of gentleman pirates, cannibalism, and a failed British bombardment during the War of 1812.

Michael Morgan delves into captivating stories of presidential escapades, charismatic preachers, and German POW camps, uncovering the lesser-known aspects of this historic town.
