What is Sophie Du Pont: A Young Lady in America : Sketches, Diaries, and Letters, 1823-1833 about?

From inside front A window on the America of the Early Republic is opened to us by young Sophie du Pont. Her father, E. I. du Pont, had come from France and in 1802 settled on the banks of the Brandywine Creek, four miles above Wilmington, where he set up a gunpowder manufactory. A period of ten years in the family life of the du Ponts, newly settled in Delaware, is illumined by Sophies letters, diaries, and sketches from 1823 (when she was thirteen) to 1833 (when she was twenty-three), which have been discovered in the du Pont family and company archives and organized into this charming book by its two researcher authors.
