Remembering Sussex County

Rebels, soldiers and watermen have all toiled and roamed
among the fields, bays and beaches of Sussex County. With grit and ingenuity they built strong communities that could face the onslaught of storms and sun seekers. From tales of the Black Camp Rebellion and the infamous Patty Cannon to stories of practical jokesters who brought a swamp monster to life, local author James Diehl brings together a fascinating
and whimsical collection of vignettes that paints a portrait of Delaware�s largest county. Between its sunny coast and green fields lie the small towns that the hardworking and hospitable people of Sussex County call home.
