Item description from seller

Book is green cloth with gilt lettering on the front cover and spine. Book is clean & bright with minor edge wear and lightly bumped corners. Book is autographed on the title page, else clean & bright. Dust jacket has light edge wear as well. Map end papers. Highly illustrated throughout. Chatham: At the Crossing of the Fishawack delivers a comprehensive, richly illustrated local chronicle of a small north-central New Jersey town. Written by acclaimed regional historian John T. Cunningham, the narrative traces the community's evolution from its casual origins at a natural Passaic River crossing point used by the Lenni Lenape Indians (fondly nicknamed "The Fishawack") up through its 19th-century industrial prosperity. Cunningham vividly documents the town's Revolutionary War history—including the raising of the Liberty Pole and the guarding of the local bridge—alongside the progression of old toll roads, the transformative arrival of the railroad, and the deep local divide that saw young workingmen leave to join the Confederacy. Popled by local blacksmiths, emergency responders, and educators, this scarce local history volume captures the true development of an early American village. This highly collectible first edition is uniquely autographed by the author on the title page.…
