Dumont Heritage: Old Schraalenburgh, New Jersey,

H. Jeanne Altshuler; various [Illustrator]; various [Photographer];

Verlag: Mayor and Council of the Borough of Dumont, 1969

No dust jacket, cloth boards have minor wear, binding sound, internally clean. Dumont is one of the small towns along the eastern seaboard which has always been and will continue to be part of a much larger canvas, and H. Jeanne Altshuler has succeeded in delineating the whole picture. Her exhaustive research into interplay of events in Europe situates the settlement of the early colonies within an explanatory context. The fast-moving style and Joel M. Altshuler's sensitive illustrations draw the reader into the story of this area, into the lives of the people who first settled here in the middle section of Schraalenburgh and thos who shaped Dumont into what it is today. The evolution of this part of Schraalenburgh from a sparsely settled segment to a political entity with a substantial population is described with the drama and color that make for good reading and with the scholarly precision that makes for good history. 128 pages, includes appendix and index, profusely illustrated in black and white.
