In History Walks in New Jersey, Lucy D. Rosenfeld and Marina Harrison treat readers to a comprehensive statewide guidebook that includes detailed information on forty-eight of the best sites for historical walks. These outings take the history enthusiast through beautiful green landscapes, natural preserves, and picturesque settlements.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e Whether you are an amateur historian, a weekend walker, or a teacher planning a class trip, this book will be an essential resource for ideas and information. Walks include the Kingston Loop, a long canal where George Washington, pen in hand, composed his post-Revolutionary War speech, \"Farewell Orders to the Armies of the United States.\" Also included is a mountain walk that traces Native American Leni-Lenape history and one that wends its way into an old Moravian village in the town of Hope. A pirate cove, stops on the Underground Railroad, a Civil War cemetery, and the sites of duels, mines, canals, architectural innovations, estates and resorts, centuries-old agricultural and fishing settlements, and the Hindenburg crash are all here. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEach walk includes directions, information on tours, a brief history, and suggestions for additional places to visit in the area. Whether a New Jersey native or a visitor to the Garden State, readers will enjoy going beyond the highways and suburban towns to learn about history while discovering the state's natural beauty. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eIntroduction\u003cbr\u003e 1 Paterson Falls\u003cbr\u003e 2 Weehawken\u003cbr\u003e 3 Ellis Island\u003cbr\u003e 4 Fort Lee\u003cbr\u003e 5 Undercliff\u003cbr\u003e 6 Skunk Hollow\u003cbr\u003e 7 Ringwood and Long Pond\u003cbr\u003e 8 Edison National Historic Site\u003cbr\u003e 9 Feltville\u003cbr\u003e 10 Historic Speedwell\u003cbr\u003e 11 Pyramid Mountain\u003cbr\u003e 12 Jockey Hollow\u003cbr\u003e 13 Cooper Mill and the Black River\u003cbr\u003e 14 The Sussex Branch Rail Trail\u003cbr\u003e 15 Waterloo Village\u003cbr\u003e 16 Millbrook Village\u003cbr\u003e 17 Hope\u003cbr\u003e 18 Belvidere\u003cbr\u003e 19 Clinton\u003cbr\u003e 20 The Prallsville Mills\u003cbr\u003e 21 Princeton Cemetery\u003cbr\u003e 22 Princeton Battlefield State Park\u003cbr\u003e 23 The Delaware and Raritan Canal\u003cbr\u003e 24 Washington Crossing State Park\u003cbr\u003e 25 Monmouth Battlefield State Park\u003cbr\u003e 26 Georgian Court College\u003cbr\u003e 27 Twin Lights of Navesink\u003cbr\u003e 28 Allaire\u003cbr\u003e 29 Ocean Grove\u003cbr\u003e 30 Cattus Island and Barnegat Light\u003cbr\u003e 31 Double Trouble and Whitesbog Villages\u003cbr\u003e 32 Lakehurst\u003cbr\u003e 33 Historical Walnford\u003cbr\u003e 34 Roosevelt\u003cbr\u003e 35 Bordentown\u003cbr\u003e 36 Burlington\u003cbr\u003e 37 Burlington and its Neighbors\u003cbr\u003e 38 Roebling\u003cbr\u003e 39 Rankokus Indian Reservation\u003cbr\u003e 40 Mount Holly\u003cbr\u003e 41 Batsto\u003cbr\u003e 42 Wheaton Village\u003cbr\u003e 43 Red Bank Battlefield\u003cbr\u003e 44 Fort Mott, Pea Patch Island, and the Finn's Point National Cemetery\u003cbr\u003e 45 Greenwich\u003cbr\u003e 46 Bridgeton\u003cbr\u003e 47 East Point Lighthouse to Mauricetown\u003cbr\u003e 48 Cape May\u003cbr\u003e Choosing an Outing\u003cbr\u003e Index\u003cbr\u003e Photo Credits\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Rivergate Books","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52559285518616,"sku":"9780813539690","price":19.69,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/history-walks-in-new-jersey-paperback-softback-9780813539690","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
