Travels in a Bygone Age
ISBN: 9781844017683 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 180 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) The middle decades of the twentieth century are widely recognised as a time of great social change, the repercussions of which we still feel today. Travels in a Bygone Age provides us with a new window into this era, a time in which the British Empire - which had covered around a quarter of the globe - was dissolving and the former colonies were gaining independence. From Rhodesia after its Unilateral Declaration of Independence in 1965 to Bangkok during the Vietnam War, Henry Charlton was in a position to see remote and far-flung parts of the world when they still retained their exoticism...

Forgotten Towns of Southern New Jersey
ISBN: 9780813510163 / Angielski / Miękka / 1983 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Composed, for the most part, from sketches that were published in the Courier-Post newspapers of Camden, New Jersey, Beck provides us with a series of stories of towns too tiny or uncertain for today's maps. Together, these sketches help to create a more complete picture of the history of New Jersey. A connecting skein of untold or little known wartime history--the Revolution, the War of 1812, and the conflict of North against South--runs through most of the sketches. Many of the sketches concern the pine towns and their people, "the pineys" who lived in the Jersey pine barrens.

The Old Mine Road, considered the first road in America designed for wheeled vehicles, was built three hundred years ago by Dutch settlers for access to the mines of the Minisink country.
