New Jersey: The Crossroads of the American Revolution - (9781467163576)

During the American Revolution New Jersey took center stage as a vital battleground with over 600 engagements and skirmishes. Strategically located between New York City and Philadelphia it endured constant conflict and divided loyalties hosting crucial Continental army encampments like Morristown and witnessing pivotal victories such as Washington's crossing of the Delaware and the surprise attacks at Trenton and Princeton. With over 150 historic sites within the state connected to the American cause for independence New Jersey can make the claim it was the Crossroads of the American Revolution. The pages within this book illustrate a portion of these historic sites with a mixture of vintage images gathered from state county and local historical organizations and images from the photographic collection of photographer Alexander J. Pochek.
