Gabrielle M. Lanier. The Delaware Valley in the Early Republic: Architecture, Landscape, and Regional Identity. (Creating the North American Landscape.) Baltimore: Johns Hopkins University Press, with the Center for American Places, Santa Fe, N. Mex. 2005. Pp. xviii, 250. $46.95.

Gabrielle M. Lanier's book offers hope to those historians and geographers who have suffered a regional identity crisis trying to characterize the Delaware Valley or the lower Mid-Atlantic region in the United States. Her study looks at three culturally diverse subregions in the area: Warwick Township in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, predominantly Germanic; North West Fork Hundred in Sussex County, Delaware, influenced by Chesapeake cultural and building traditions; and Mannington Township in Salem County, New Jersey, settled by English Quakers. Lanier concludes that in the early national period as well as later, the Delaware Valley was not a definable region but "a region of regions"—the title of the last chapter.
