5.0 out of 5 stars New Jersey During Colonial Times, April 23, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Glance Back in Time: Life in Colonial New Jersey (1704-1770) As Depicted in News Accounts of the Day (Paperback)

I read this book and found it to not only be interesting as a fiction novel, but in fact, it was non-fiction! Mr. Marrin was able to write about New Jersey during the time of our fore-fathers and he did so in a way to captivate the reader all the while telling a true story about New Jersey and being able to teach of us New Jersey's marvelous history. As many of us well know, history can be quite boring but Mr. Marrin's writing style had me enveloped in New Jersey history from the get-go. Having moved here from California and not knowing much about Jersey, I happened along this book and what a find! I would highly recommend it for its informative yet imaginative recapture of the historic New Jersey past. It was very envigorating to me and made me want to find more information to learn more about New Jersey and our forefathers of the colonial, revolutionary times! I can't believe this book is out of print. I am disappointed as I wanted to buy some for my daughter who is a teacher. Please print more!!!
