Excerpt from Somerset County Historical Quarterly, 1912, Vol. 1
The older generation is passing away; its members Of half a century past could have thrown a flood of light upon Revolutionary and post Revolutionary times in Somerset had such a magazine as this quarterly been hitherto established. Soon there will only exist a generation whose knowledge of ancient affairs must be at second, third or fourth-hand. Even the Older tombstones in our many ancient farm and churchyard cemeteries are crumbling, and, unless soon transcribed, cannot be read. Some of the older church records are also not in a good state of preser vation, and should be copied and published while it is possible to do it.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the rich history of Native Americans in Central New Jersey, painting a vivid picture of their lives before and during the early years of European settlement. The author meticulously traces the paths and trails carved by the Lenni Lenape, or Delaware Indians, as they traversed the region, highlighting their hunting and gathering practices, their interactions with Dutch and English colonists, and their complex relationships with the powerful Iroquois Confederacy. The book sheds light on the Indian policy of the English settlers, exploring both their efforts to peacefully acquire land and the conflicts that arose due to misunderstandings about land ownership and boundaries. With fascinating details about Native American customs, traditions, and social structures, this book offers a unique glimpse into a period of intense cultural exchange, challenging preconceived notions of the "peaceful savage" and exposing the intricate tapestry of relationships between Native Americans and the newcomers to their land. This compelling narrative reveals the complex and often overlooked history of these early inhabitants of Central New Jersey and their role in shaping the landscape and culture of the region.
