Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A History of the City of Newark New Jersey, Vol. 1: Embracing Practically Two and a Half Centuries; 1666-1913 In the writing of this history the aim has been to give in simple narrative all facts, both great and seemingly small, that tend to show how the Newark of the present day has been built up, generation by generation. Anything and everything that seemed to add life, light and color to the story, that was to be found and was authentic, has been made use of. A sincere effort has been made, also, to make the history attractive and interesting to those who, although they may care little for the reading of history, may wish to become familiar with the making of their own city from the day of its foundation as a hamlet, to the present. At the same time, the student of history has not been altogether forgotten, and a guide to further study is offered in constant reference to the authorities quoted, with information as to where and how other material may be obtained. An excellent index has been supplied, being the work of Mr. William B. Morningstern of the staff of the Newark Free Public Library. The index is far more complete than those usually supplied in works of this character. The history is thus made readily accessible to students, and the pupils of Newark´s schools, and all others who may feel drawn to gather the facts about one phase or another of Newark´s history. Much information is also given in the nine appendices. In the Chronological List of leading events in the city´s history (Appendix A) is given a mass of information, much of which is not to be found in the main work, and is presented in the table for ready reference. Liberal use has been made of the early newspapers, from which has been drawn a store of reliable information as it was set down almost at the very moment of the happenings. This will be found especially true in the chapters devoted to the War for Independence and in those that tell of the coming of Newark´s industries immediately after that war.
