Rating: - Average Book on Delaware's Founding Ship
Okay, give this four stars if you are from Delaware or a Delaware junkie.

This book gives an average telling of the story of the Kalmar Nyckel, the ship that brought the first Sweedes to Delaware, and Peter Minuet, the man who captained the effort of the Sweedish Crown to establish a colony in the New World.

I imagine that documents on a subject from the early 1600's are hard to come by. That may explain why the book has gaps and is thin in some places. Still, this is probably the most thorough treatment one is apt to find on the subject.

Being a proud Delawarean, I enjoyed this book.
