Produktbeschreibung
Newton presents a portrait of the county seat of Sussex County, New Jersey during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. With over 185 photographs, postcards, and other graphic images, we see Newton blossom from a small country village into a bustling commercial and industrial town. Among the never-before-published images in this book are the architect's original rendering for the Civil War monument in the county park, the interior of the working-man's bar at the Cochran House hotel, and Damian Broda at the wheel of an early Ford in his garage--the county's first automotive repair facility. View the interior of the Merriam shoe factory, as well as many of the town's commercial and residential streets. The vast majority of the images are drawn from author Wayne T. McCabe's monumental collection of postcards and photographs of Sussex County, collected over a period of nearly 20 years. Most of the photographs were made between 1860 and 1920 and reflect a time of growth and change in Newton's history. Additional images have been provided by Jan Gminder of the Nostalgia Shop in Newton, the Historical Society of Stillwater Township, and the archives of the New Jersey Herald.
Autorenporträt
Kate Gordon spent 90% of her childhood reading books about ponies or magical adventures. The other 10% she spent galloping around the garden on an imaginary horse - until she was able to ride a real pony of her own. Now she's penning fantastical adventure stories about brave friends, ponies and unicorns. Kate is inspired by the magical mountains of Central Otago in New Zealand's South Island where she lives with her husband, three dogs, and two cats. She's currently working on the second book in the Unicorn King series called Sasha and the Warrior Unicorn. Visit Kate's website, www.kategordonauthor.com, to find out when the next Unicorn King book will be available. You can also sign up for Kate's sporadic newsletters where she talks about her writing, characters in her books and shares other middle grade fantasy and horse books that readers may enjoy. By return email you will receive links to download, free, three beautiful illustrations of Ambrosius, the unicorn king, and his unicorn friends.
