350 Years of New Jersey History: From Stuyvesant to Sandy

Noted New Jersey author Joseph Bilby will bring some of the notable events that have shaped the Garden State alive again at this author talk.

Some events are well known and important: the Revolutionary War Battle of Trenton and the inventive genius of Thomas Edison. Others are a bit more quirky: the birth of the creator of Felix the Cat in 1892 and the opening of America's first traffic circle in 1925.

Joseph Bilby is the author/editor of more than 300 articles and 14 books on New Jersey and military history, including his most recent, 350 Years of New Jersey History: From Stuyvesant to Sandy, written with James M. Madden and Harry Ziegler.
