Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tucked beside the Kittatinny Mountains in the beautiful valley of the Paulinskill River, Blairstown combines the charm of an 1800s agrarian village with many amenities of a 21st-century community. Named for its most famous resident, noted American industrialist and railroad builder John Insley Blair, it was incorporated in 1845. Known for the college preparatory academy that bears Blairs name, the heritage and history of this community has long been appreciated by its residents. Through vintage postcards from their own collections and supplementary material, the authors invite you to step back in time to visit Blairstown and the neighboring villages of Hope, Hardwick, Johnsonburg, and Marksboro in an era when the horse and buggy took you to local destinations and the railroad was your passport to the larger world.

Book excerpt: As early as 1829, Antoine Dutot saw potential for a profitable resort industry at the Delaware Water Gap and began construction of the first Kittatinny House overlooking the Delaware River. After the arrival of the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad in 1856, other hostelries of various sizes and appointments followed and were soon filled each summer with happy vacationers from New York City and Philadelphia. Residents of surrounding villages on both sides of the Delaware River also shared the seasonal wealth of this natural playground, yet they still managed to make a living during the rest of the year. River Towns of the Delaware Water Gap salutes the grand hotels, their diminutive little sisters, and the people who ran them or lived in the gap and its neighboring river towns.
