Inhaltsangabe

Newark is an engaging history of this New Jersey community.

Newark, New Jersey's largest city, was founded in 1666 by a small band of Puritans from Connecticut. It grew to be a major manufacturing center for leather articles, carriages, beer, thread, Celluloid, jewelry, and literally thousands of other items. With the development of the Passaic River region, Newark also became a transportation hub. The Morris Canal, major highways, and train lines cut through the city, and the Newark airport in the meadows became, for a time, the world's busiest. People from every corner of the world came to the town seeking jobs, education, entertainment, and friends. They established ethnic neighborhoods, churches, synagogues, stores, and theaters, where their native languages were spoken.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Newark by Jean-Rae Turner and Richard T. Koles 0gives an overview of this remarkable city with many previously unpublished photographs that provide a taste of its diversity. The authors, born and educated in Newark and veterans of service with the Elizabeth Daily Journal and New Jersey Newsphotos, collaborated last year on another well-received Images of America book. This new photographic history shows their affection for Newark, their knowledge of its remarkable past, and their faith in its future.
