Synopsis:

It was a homeland for the Leni-Lenape Indians before it was

settled by tenacious Dutch immigrants. Two centuries later, in

1881, Rutherford, New Jersey, became an independent boroughthe

first in Bergen County. Author William Neumann narrates Rutherford's

remarkable transition from a rural retreat popular for its abundant springs

to a bustling New York City suburb. Along the way he introduces some

of the town's extraordinary citizens, including the Pulitzer Prizewinning

poet William Carlos Williams, who led the life of a small-town doctor at 9

Ridge Road, and the local husband and wife team who founded Fairleigh

Dickinson Universitya love story as much as a historical achievement.

While I haven't read it as yet, I am definitely going to get a copy. I have now lived in Tucson, Arizona since 1975 and have visited Rutherford only once during that time. My grandparents (Mom's parents) lived at 22 East Gouverneur Avenue. As soon as I saw the cover of the book I recognized the train station taken from the southwest corner of the station on E Erie Ave. Can't wait to get this book that is laden with photos.
I hope that this book does so well that he writes another that will bring even more information about this beautiful town to the rest of the country and possibly the world!
