Tommy Dobson founded the Eskdale and Ennerdale hunt in the mid 18th century with light-framed fell hounds famed for their independence and ability to traverse slopes that would spell certain death to their lowland cousins. At the same time, he began developing a suitable stamp of terrier to work alongside his pack by deploying a potent mix of racy Bedlington blood, lines from across the Irish Sea and other game strains of terrier.
The result was a leggy, narrow-chested black-and-tan dog that was able to withstand the harsh Lake District weather thanks to a thick weatherproof coat. The description was agreed at a meeting in Whitehaven in 1921, after which the celebrated Yellow Earl (Hugh Lowther, 5th Earl of Lonsdale) became the first president of the Lakeland Terrier Association. The Association is now defunct, but other organisations including the Lakeland Terrier Club (founded in 1932) are still going strong.

Numerous factors impacted the Wilmington area’s Black communities on the World War II home front, underscored by racial segregation.
Wilmington’s recent designation as America’s first World War II Heritage City was based on wartime contributions and history preservation.
During WWII our area, like the south, practiced institutional segregation. Race relations were matter-of-fact and good or bad, depending on viewpoints and restrictions. Life proceeded for both whites and Blacks, separately mostly, together when necessary.
Race divided the public but remarkably hardly affected our successful war effort role.
Black citizens, while enduring discrimination, maintained positive morale, patriotically worked for national victory, and yearned for racial victory - the “Double V campaign.”
