Delaware from Freeways to E-Ways: First State; Solid State by Dave Tabler is a fascinating look at how Delaware has changed over time. It covers how the state went from being all about factories and business to becoming more focused on technology and the digital world. This is the third book in Tabler’s Delaware History Overview series, and he does a wonderful job of making history easy to understand and fun to read.
One of the best parts of the book is how Tabler mixes facts with real-life stories and pictures. Instead of just listing dates and events, he shows how things like banking, roads, and the internet shaped Delaware into what it is today. It’s great to see how such a small place has had such a big impact.
This book is an entertaining read for anyone who likes history but doesn’t want it to feel like they are reading a textbook. Tabler keeps things engaging and surprisingly well-paced. Whether you live in Delaware or just like learning about different places, Delaware from Freeways to E-Ways is definitely worth checking out.
I received a copy of the book for the tour. This review is my honest, unbiased opinion.
