In 1928, the public schools tried to stage a pageant about city history; however, information was scarce and inaccessible. Lincoln thereafter began to compile this history of Wilmington, completing it in 1937. A terrific present for any Wilmingtonian or Delawarian! Our father grew up in Wilmington and loved the place. For those curious, the "four flags" that have flown over Wilmington are Dutch, Swedish, English, and U.S ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Our father was a bibliophile who collected rare books, letters, and ephemera for more than 60 years.
