| Description | Few comprehensive studies of tenancy have been completed for areas in the mid-Atlantic region. In Delaware, virtually no extensive examination of tenancy hsa been attempted prior to this study. To truly understand the nature of tenancy and its effect on the agricultural landscape, the research design for this project addressed the population and properties of three specific areas in the Upper Peninsula Zone in great detail. Most of the information has been generated from primary source materials but he project also used a variety of other sources and types of research. These included creation of quantified data bases from tax assessments for identification of statistical patterns in landholding, wealth, slaveowning, race, and gender; examination of other primary sources; development of a selected bibliography of secondary and period sources; and examination of extant sites in the field. | en |
