New Illustrated Booklet. The early days of Cape May County NJ and its various communities --Cape Island Cape May Courthouse Cape May Town Cold Sprint Dennis Dennisville Fishing Creek Lower Middle and Upper -- are recalled through a mixture of colorful tales and factual data in this NEW 23 Page Booklet reprinted from two hard to find books: the 1847 edition of John Warner Barber and Henry Howe's Historical Collections of the State of New Jersey and New Jersey a Guide to Its Present and Past a WPA project published in 1939. The spiral-bound booklet is printed one-sided on 60# paper with the fine print enlarged for easier reading. Clear vinyl has been added to protect the front cover. The Howe/Barber history covers the development of this area until about 1844 while excerpts from the WPA book give a nostalgic glympse from a 1939 vantage point including interesting historical notes especially as they relate to sightseeing possibilities. Among the many and varied topics in the booklet are: Early Settlers; a Physical Description of the county; Recollections of Thomas Leaming an early resident and a whaler; Names of those Friendly to the Revolutionary Cause; History of the Presbyterian Church and the Baptist Church including many names; Stories of the Revolutionary War; Tombstone Inscriptions; Early Surveys; Early Court Extracts mostly involving alcohol; the Townsend Family and other Early Families; Wreck of the Perserverance; Henry Young Capt.
