| Publisher Description: Only 18 miles south of behemoth New York City, Cranford is an adorable small city, nicknamed the Venice of New Jersey. Residents of Cranford greeted the publication of a photographic history of their community with tremendous enthusiasm in 1995 - for the first time, significant people and events in the township's past were celebrated in a vivid record available to all. The authors of that volume - Robert Fridlington and Lawrence Fuhro - have worked together again to produce an all-new second volume on Cranford that includes many recently discovered images. Cranford Volume II covers the history of the town from 1871 to 1960, and highlights its role as a riverside resort and suburb. Images of well-known Cranford residents, such as pure-food crusader Alice Lakey and beloved high school coach J. Seth Weekly are also featured, documenting the unique contributions of these citizens to their hometown. |
