Publications

We intend to develop an annotated bibliography of published and unpublished works relating to the history of this area. We're going to be somewhat selective and not include works that are not pretty closely focused on Warren County or places of significance to our efforts. It will take some time, and we particularly welcome suggestions. If you know a librarian or teacher who might help us, that would be especially valuable.

Some of the material here is available for download as a PDF file from this site, and we suspect, ultimately we'll see some e-books here. The standard sources (Snell's History of Sussex and Warren County and Cummins' History of Warren County, New Jersey) will be listed, of course, but more obscure works such as Jennie Love's Centennial Celebration of the Presbyterian Church of Harmony, New Jersey (1908). Where we can, we'll try to mention local libraries where you can find these works.

Washington-Rochambeau campaign
The Washington-Rochambeau Revolutionary Route In The State of New Jersey, 1781-1783: An Historical and Architectural Survey, by historian Robert A. Selig, Ph. D. The survey is an in depth and detailed study of military marches through the State of New Jersey during the American Revolutionary War of both French Army troops and Continental Army troops in 1781-1783 in route to the defeat of the British Army and General Cornwallis at the Battle of Yorktown, Virginia, October 19, 1781, and their return journey north. The study is available for download as three large PDF files.
      The New Jersey study identifies the land and river routes that General Washington’s Continental Army and the comte de Rochambeau’s French forces took through New Jersey in August and September of 1781 on their way to Yorktown, and identifies associated sites and resources along those routes. The study develops recommendations for interpretation of these sites and resources and lays the foundation needed to begin the research for nominating identified sites to the National Register of Historic Places.
