Description:“Set against the backdrop of the colonial and Revolutionary War period in New Jersey, Witness to History is a broad-spectrum account of the history and times of several important historic sites in Woodbridge Township. While focusing on the Cutter Farm and Old Stone Cottage, author Donald J. Peck augments his work with stories of nearby sites—the Cross Keys Tavern, Dunham House, the Old White Church and historic Route 514 (Main Street). With the upcoming 350th anniversary of the charter of this oldest New Jersey township in mind, local personalities, such as Joseph Bloomfield, Dr. Moses Bloomfield, Timothy Bloomfield, Campyon Cutter, Janet Pike Gage, Nathaniel Heard, James Parker, the Reverend Azel Roe and Nathaniel Fitz Randolph, are also expertly woven into the narrative.This chronicle of colonial life and the struggle for independence in Woodbridge Township and New Jersey compels us to reflect on the American story itself. It spans beyond the usual interpretation by making a personal connection to the trying issues of political, racial, religious, social and environmental justice and the freedoms for which patriots fought—freedoms which could not be more important in today’s complex world.In Witness to History Mr. Peck has given us a reason to contemplate the present while enjoying stories of the past.
