O knihe

For both new residents and old-timers alike, Warren A to Z takes you on an
informative tour of Warren Township including the land, places, people,
issues, and events that have shaped "the greenest place in New Jersey."

Almost from its beginning 275 years ago, Warren was a scattering of small
villages that included only a post office or church, general store, a
blacksmith shop, tavern, and a few houses. Like many other communities in
fast-growing Somerset County, Warren Township has changed dramatically
during the last half century. Gone are the shimmering fields of hay and
corn, the sheep and cows grazing in the sun, and the weather-beaten barns.
Author and historian Alan A. Siegel arranges his entries alphabetically in
an easy-to-read format as he explains how the forested mountains and
pastoral valley have given way to progress. In 1982, there were still 150
working farms in Warren, but now almost all are gone-victims of the very
charm of the surroundings that have attracted so many newcomers.

Warren A to Z will transport you on a fabulous historical journey that
highlights the churches and schools, noteworthy buildings, famous people,
and political movements of this beautiful area nestled in the Watchung
Mountains.
