What is A Guide to New Jersey's Revolutionary War Trail: for Families and History Buffs about?

Hit the road with journalist Mark DiIonno as he takes you on a tour of New Jerseys extraordinary Revolutionary War history. Listing more than 350 historic sites throughout the state, DiIonno has compiled the most complete guide ever to the Revolutionary War in the Garden State. New Jerseys role in the Revolutionary War is widely overlooked. Every school kid learns about the Boston Tea Party but not the Greenwich tea burning; and about the miserable winter at Valley Forge but not Jockey Hollow. Schools fund class trips to Philadelphias Independence Hall but not Princetons Nassau Hall. To find history in New Jersey, all you need is DiIonnos book as your guide. His easy-to-read volume helps readers explore the cities and the countryside from Bergen to Cape May County to find out exactly what happened there during the Revolutionary War. While previously published books center on the highlights Fort Lee and Washingtons retreat across the state, victories at Trenton and Princeton, the brutal winter encampment at Jockey Hollow and the Battle of Monmouth DiIonno fills in the blanks. Battlefields, churches, homes of the famous and infamous, cemeteries, parks, taverns, liberty poles, bridge
