Book excerpt: While many of the plant and animal communities on Delmarva are typical of those found on the Atlantic coastal plain, the peninsula also includes piedmont rivers and woods, saltwater and freshwater marshes, ocean dunes, Delmarva bays, and even remnant cypress swamps. It is, in fact, not unreasonable to view the Delmarva Peninsula as a microcosm of natural life as it is found along a major portion of the eastern seaboard.This book explores the lure of the peninsula from the viewpoint of the natural historian and shows how geological history, plant communities, and animals are all interdependent. The text is full of interesting but little-known facts that should cause the reader to view the land with fresh eyes.
