A Wonderful Snapshot of the years gone past!

This is a wonderful book. It is a must have for those who enjoy history. This book has wonderful photographs......fantastic snapshots in time from yesteryear. Many families who came to the USA to start a new life lived in Trenton. Those of us who's families came to Trenton may "well up" with pride when flipping through the book.....it will make you proud. It is rich in history and trade. "What Trenton Makes the World Takes". Thanks so much for a wonderful book!

A Beautiful History of Trenton in Photographs

Everyone who comes from Trenton or is interested in the history of this town that almost became the capital of the US should read this wonderful book. I have ancestors who immigrated to Trenton in 1865, and my parents were born and raised there. What a joy it is to see how Trenton developed and thrived over the years! And I found a photo of one of my relatives in the book!

A must for any Trentoniaphile!

Cate and Carol's book is about time! Trenton's rich history is displayed in this collector's book of photographs, many never seen before in other books on Trenton. They cover its industry, neighborhoods, history and people that put this town on the map. The question is, when is their next volume on Trenton coming out?
