What began as a family memoir grew into a full history of Woodside, the northern end of Newark, New Jersey. Hine gathers records and the recollections of older residents on its farms, roads, churches and houses, its legends and ghost stories, and the life of his father, C. C. Hine, whose career was woven into the neighbourhood’s growth.
A rich piece of local history for anyone with roots in Newark or a taste for old American neighbourhood lore. Download the free EPUB.
