This book recounts the history of Princeton, a picturesque hamlet founded in the late 17th century and whose significance has since been cemented by housing the prestigious Princeton University.

The author also gives an account of notable sites in and around Princeton, such as battlefields, inns, and churches, all of which have seen their share of historical events.
