Book Description
Somerset County, in the heart of Pennsylvania's Laurel Highlands, drew its first settlers from the earliest waves of western migrants. Coal miners later fueled the fires of Johnstown's, Pittsburgh's, and the nation's industry, while artists from around the world were drawn to the region's mountainous beauty. At mining's height, entire Sicilian communities moved here, along with hopeful settlers from Poland and Slovakia who also brought their heritage and pride.

Book Description
From the 1890s through the 1920s, the postcard was an extraordinarily popular means of communication, and many of the postcards produced during this "golden age" can today be considered works of art. Postcard photographers traveled the length and breadth of the nation snapping photographs of busy street scenes, documenting local landmarks, and assembling crowds of local children only too happy to pose for a picture. These images, printed as postcards and sold in general stores across the country, survive as telling reminders of an important era in America's history. This fascinating new history of New Jersey's Somerset County showcases more than two hundred of the best vintage postcards available.

Book Description
Modern Haddon Township emerged from Quaker roots that date back to the 1680s. Originally named Newton Township, the municipality was incorporated as the Township of Haddon in 1865. The township's current boundaries developed with the formation of neighboring towns. During the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the previously agrarian Haddon Township shifted dramatically with the introduction of railroad and highway systems, evolving into a suburban community proud of its excellent schools and its recreational, athletic, and entertainment facilities. Haddon Township journeys through the buildings, businesses, and other landmarks that tell the story of the township's development. It celebrates those who have served the township, chronicles parades and other events, and visits popular gathering places like Crystal Lake, Green Valley, and Newton Creek.

Book Description
The villages of Neshanic and Neshanic Station make up the southern portion of Somerset County, New Jersey. Upper and Lower Neshanic, as they were earlier known, joined over a century ago when the Elm Street Bridge was built, linking the two villages. Neshanic was a colonial settlement that grew around the commerce of Amwell Road and the following of the Reformed Dutch Church of Neshanic, which was established in 1752. Neshanic Station contained only a handful of residences until railroad lines led to the commercial and residential expansion of the village in the late 1800s. Today, these two villages exist mainly as residential communities but are linked with the past through the lifelong ties to the villages by their residents. While the commerce that once occupied this area is gone, its sense of community remains.
