Stories of New Jersey

Stories of New Jersey are beautifully written tales that evocatively tell the history of New Jersey from the Lenni-Lenape Indians and Dutch colonists to the Mexican War. Frank Richard Stockton has mastered the stories of the legendary figures of New Jersey, whilst these legends can be found elsewhere, no one else retells the stories with such vibrancy and beauty. In this book are found the colonials who both fought the Indians and traded with them, you will find New Jersey's very own Tea Party, early inventors, schoolmaster and, doctors. This edition is entirely faithful to the book that appeared in 1896, which remained in print until 1945 due to its popularity, and is fully illustrated.
