Fenwick Island, Delaware: A Brief History

Though not truly an island, Fenwick fits the stereotype, with its history of swashbuckling pirates anchored offshore, fierce storms pounding the coastline and treasures rumored to be buried beneath its sands. Respected journalist Mary Pat Kyle introduces readers to the legendary sea bandit
Captain Kidd, the elusive beach-dwelling widow Zippy Lewis and other storied characters that have populated this quiet beach community and shaped its history throughout the centuries. Incorporating recollections from local icons
Paul and Dorothy Pepper and clips from Kyle s extensive storm coverage for the Delmarva News and The Whale, this history of Fenwick Island captures the essence of life in one of Delaware s quiet beach resorts."
