	Fort Delaware - History
		In 1832, Major Richard Delafield requested $10,000 to tear down the remaining structure and begin building quarters for the workers needed to renew construction.
		Delafield's ambition to "erect a marvel of military architecture on Pea Patch" was stalled before it began.
		The ambitious plan conjured by Major Delafield was scaled back to less than half the original size, but the fort would still be one of the largest ever built by the military.

		Delafield was unhappy with the final location, believing that it afforded “an indifferent approach”; his 1835 annual report groused that “local interests coming in collision with the public good, arrested the progress of this work.”
		Delafield had planned to build it in a year, but construction was beset with problems from the beginning.
		Delafield expected the remaining work to take another two months, but despite his confidence, the bridge was not completely finished until 1839, long after all other improvements on the road had been finished (though it began to carry traffic as early as July 1838).

	Mine Warfare: Nineteenth Century
		Major Delafield had been an observer of the Crimean War, during which Russia became the first nation to make systematic use of mines and minefields.
		Major Delafield noted, "Around and about the Island of Cronstadt (sic) and the anchorages that the allied fleet would probably occupy, as well as the channels of approach, and anchorages abreast of the castles [forts] defending these channels, numerous submerged mines… were placed to explode by the contact of any vessel running against them.“
		As Delafield described, Russian forces mined the approaches to Sevastopol in the Black Sea and Kronstadt and Sveaborg (which guarded the approaches to Russian-ruled Helsinki) with a mix of controlled and contact mines.

	Patrice De Janon, Professor, United States Military Academy
		This is clearly shown in the case of Cadet Rodgers who seems to be the source of the General's boldest assault upon Mr de Janon.
		There is something in this case requiring the most positive order of correction at the hands of the President and I shall not only be much surprised as a citizen not to see it followed by the restoration of Professor de Janon, but still further by the arraigning and dismissal of Genl.
		If malicious falsifying be a just cause of exclusion from high civil or military position I cannot see by what rule of construction Genl Delafield can escape the verdict in the estimation of every right minded man who takes the pains to read the facts in the case.

		It was not until a major expansion of the early 1900s that Gothic architecture emerged as the style for West Point.

		In 1838, DeRussy was succeeded by Major Richard Delafield, Class of 1818, a strict disciplinarian who was given the authority to dismiss cadets without presidential intervention.
		Fluctuations in discipline aside, DeRussy and Delafield changed little about the Thayer system or curriculum, although West Point saw the erection of a chapel and the first library building as well as the addition of horsemanship to the curriculum in 1839.
		Perhaps the greatest innovation in cadet life during these years occurred when bedsteads were first issued in 1839, giving rooms in the barracks a more permanent feel.
