Of Town and Field


A Look Between the Pages

A unique keepsake for current or former residents of the Matawan and Abderdeen area of New Jersey.

Well-researched and packed full of information, the author has also managed to show the rich heritage of the area. Going beyond facts, anecdotes show some of the human side of the history and separates documented fact from lore. 

Readers can experience the narrow escape of a patriotic officer from the forces of the British crown during the American Revolution and the shark attacks that shocked a nation in the early 20th century.
