Book Description
Excerpt from History of the Oranges, in Essex County, From 1666 to 1806 During the last fifteen years of his life, the author of this work devoted most of his leisure time to collecting the materials necessary to its preparation. His labors in this direction resulted in gathering, and perhaps rescuing from oblivion, reminiscences that had never been placed in writing; as well as many documents that were so hidden away as to be almost wholly inaccessible, and apparently destined to be ultimately lost. To the general reader, they cannot fail to be interesting; and their value cannot fail to be appreciated by the indwellers of the region whose history he purposed to preserve. The materials thus gathered consist largely of local incidents; of facts that tend to fix places, boundaries and historic paths almost lost to memory; of descriptions of the homelife and character of the earliest settlers of New Jersey; of matters appertaining to their first efforts in commerce and manufactures; of their religion, and meeting houses; with sketches of prominent individuals among them.

East Orange captures the tranquillity and innocence of the city at the turn of the century.
