Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: y William A. Whitehead Republished from the original 1846 edition - (PDF 4.13Mb, 270pp, illustrated) Whitehead's "East Jersey" is now rarely seen, but is the most frequently-cited source for information relating to the colonial period prior to 1702. Drawing upon original manuscripts and pamphlets, the author preserves a detailed account of the first settlers of the eastern division of Berkeley and Carteret's grant from the Duke of York. The work concentrates on the development of the communities of Perth Amboy and Pisctaway, as well as the exploration and development of lands up the Raritan River and around Shrewsbury. Other settlements (mostly old Dutch communities) are mentioned, but largely ignored. Of particular interest is the inclusion of George Scot's "The Model of the Government of the Province of East Jersey in America" in its entirety - apparently for the first time since its original printing in 1685. This important work supported the efforts of the Scots proprietors of East Jersey to recruit planters, apprentices, tradesmen, merchants and servants to the New World. The text includes letters written by the first Scots settlers which describe New Jersey as a wonderful alternative to Scotland. Whitehead also wrote a supplement to this volume, "Contributions to the Early History of Perth Amboy," which details the history of the area until the American Revolution and somewhat beyond. As the original edition is among the most sought-after of published Jerseyana, this masterfully-published eBook edition will be especially welcome to students of New Jersey history..

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the oldest towns in New Jersey, Cranbury has a long and noteworthy history that is in part distinctive and in part broadly representative of larger themes in the development of the state and the nation. In this beautifully illustrated book sponsored by Cranbury Landmarks, Inc., historian John Whiteclay Chambers II links the narrative of this remarkable place to contemporary debates about suburbanization and land-use planning. Founded in 1697 and soon featuring an inn, a gristmill, and a church, the village prospered due to its strategic location on important transportation routes between New York and Philadelphia and its fertile, productive farmland. David Brainerd, a famous and controversial young missionary, came there to preach to the Lenape Indians. In 1778, George Washington and his army stayed there on their way to the Battle of Monmouth. In the nineteenth century, roadways, railroads, and turnpikes spurred the town’s commerce and agriculture. Yet unlike many old agricultural centers transformed by suburbanization in the twentieth century, Cranbury has retained its picturesque, small-town image and much of its charm. Cranbury has the feel of a well-preserved nineteenth-century village, remarkable for its intact and cohesive domestic and commercial architecture—a status recognized when it was placed on the State and National Registers of Historic Places. In the last several decades, an active citizenry has innovatively linked the historic preservation of the town center with the maintenance of adjoining farmland, stream corridors, and wildlife habitats. How Cranbury preserved much of its character while accommodating economic growth provides a central theme in this book. Preserving the best of the past while astutely meeting the challenges of the present, Cranbury’s history offers an inspiration for active civic participation, a model for enlightened development, and an engaging American story.
