Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: MORE STORIES OF A SMALL TOWN BOONTON USA is our second book of "Oral History" stories about people growing up in Boonton NJ during the 1930s and 1940s. These 40+ senior citizens (and a few people not yet seniors) describe their experience in the melting pot called "Boonton." They are people brought up with conscience, character, courage and commitment. No matter where they travel, l Boonton is truly home. The song title, "Everybody knows my name" is applicable here. Come back to Boonton even 50 years later, and find old friends and classmates ready to take you out to lunch! These people use words like happy, grateful and optimistic - and mean them. Even though they faced huge difficulties in the Depression and facing WWII, they laugh when telling their stories. Sandi was fired after getting married because JCP&L had a policy not to employ married women. Dick's plane was shot down over Japan in WWII and he commented that he enjoyed parachuting. Vivian was offered a job teaching high school but in the 1930s, she could not live independently as it was taboo, so she found a room as a "boarder." These are ordinary people and yet they are extraordinary!

This book was released on 2021 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Denville in the 1950s was an idyllic place to live, yet a dark chapter in the era's history has remained uncovered. During the summer of 1953, a wealthy traveler with a secret rap sheet as a convicted sex offender arrived in town to continue his misdeeds. A group of thirteen local boys ranging in age from fourteen to twenty-two took it upon themselves to teach the man a lesson and drive him out of town. What resulted was his brutal death and the largest number of people ever indicted for murder in the nation at the time. The harrowing trial and its aftermath revealed a town forced to grapple with how to protect its youth and come to terms with the gruesome incident. Local historian Peter Zablocki covers the crime and a small town's path to redemption.
Download or read book Boonton written by and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2001 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In 1830," Isaac S. Lyon wrote, "Boonton was one of the wildest, rockiest, briariest and most romantic places that the mind of man could imagine." More than a century later, a visitor told his wife, "May, you should see that town of Boonton. The whole Main Street is on a hill. I never saw a town with a Main Street on a hill." These were the first impressions of a town built upon the foundation of its ironworks and "iron town," populated by hardy, self-reliant men and women. Among the earliest immigrants were the English, recruited by the New Jersey Iron Company in 1830 and numbering about thirty families. Within the next two decades, Irish laborers came to work in the mills, followed by Slovaks in the 1890s ,and Italians, Poles, and Germans around the beginning of the 1900s. Two smaller groups were African Americans, some of whose ancestors had come to Boonton 150 years earlier, and Jews, who arrived c. 1900 and later. In Boonton, the descendants of these early families and newcomers reveal the Boonton of yesterday and today, and anticipate the Boonton of tomorrow. Among them is a retired kindergarten teacher who was greeted by the local "fellas" when she got off the bus in Boonton for the first time at age twenty-one. A ninety-four-yearold recalls his experiences eighty years ago as a truck driver, running molasses for the local gin mills. An eighty-one-year-old tells of the activities of the Ku Klux Klan in the 1920s, and a woman remembers the horror of the 1918 flu epidemic.
