Contributor Bio(s): Barth, Linda J.: - Linda Barth has been a fan of New Jersey for a long time. A lifelong resident of the Garden State, she became fascinated by the many inventions created here. After the publication of A History of Inventing in the Garden State: From Thomas Edison to the Ice Cream Cone (The History Press, 2013), many people told her of additional New Jersey inventions. These new creations led to this current book. With her husband, Bob, Mrs. Barth has written The Millstone Valley through Time and Somerville through Time. She has authored three books about the Delaware and Raritan Canal, as well as Hidden New Jersey, a seek-and-search book. |
