This is a CLASSIC reference book on Revolutionary War artifacts!
This one first came out around the time of the bicentennial, and has set the standard from day one. With photographs of original (and in some cases, excavated) and reproduction equipment, this book is a gold mine of information. Where photographs are not available, black and white line drawings by George Woodbridge fill the gap. Woodbridge is one of the BEST illustrators of military subject matter. He captures the details that matter.
Members of the Brigade of the American Revolution were used to further display everyday items used by 18th century soldiers. Museum curators, reenactors, collectors, illustrators and makers of reproduction equipment MUST HAVE THIS BOOK on their shelves.
My only criticism ? Color photos and exact measurements would have been nice. ...

George C. Neumann and Frank J. Kravic have really done it this time. Hands down this is the best book written on artifacts of the American Revolution. From A to Z you can look up nearly anything that was used in the War For Independence. Great for amateurs and pros alike it is an indispensable reference tool especially with museums and private collections. Very popular with online auctions as this book is referred to often. Great photographs that are clear with a brief description of every item. Some of these artifacts are now on display at Valley Forge. For collectors and historians alike this work is unparalleled and for over 20 years has been the "bible" for collecting artifacts of the American Revolution. No other work has come close. Highly recommended.

This book is an alphabetically organized list of hundreds of artifacts from the Revolutionary War, with photos of everything listed. Each item is described in detail, from powder horns to clothing to medical instruments. If you are a re-enactor of this period and you don't have this book, get it!

This really was THE WAY IT WAS...everyone in town remembers Ms. Gilfallen, and quite a few of the people in the book are still alive....I remember that my dad told me that she tried to talk to him in the mine (she actually got a job in the coal mine back when such a thing was not considered acceptable); however, he could not converse with Ms. Gilfallen because he could not speak english beyond a few phrases....this book was written right after the WVA/PA mine war, and the communists were trying to take over the mines, scabs were beaten and sometimes murdered (scabs were miners hired to replace the striking miners)..she even describes a funeral in our old Greek Catholic Church...she called that chapter THE CHURCH WITH THE BATHROOM WINDOWS....when you read this book, you will have a tendency to say "no way could this have happened"...but it did, exactly as depicted in this book....this is a true story....strangely, she called Cedar Grove by is proper name but tried to disguise Avella by calling it Avelonia...which, of course, fooled no one...read the book, its a time machine!

I never knew how close the United States came to becoming a communist country before I read this book. Everyone comes alive with the conversational text. And the descriptions of the wretched living conditions transported me to a different time and place. I couldn't put the book down. It's better than any novel because it's all true. It's like reading a private diary.

This book should not appeal just to historians, but to anyone who grew up in, or had family that originated in the area. Volume II is also a must. Regardless of your age, if you enjoy nostalgia, and wish to see what Woodbridge Township (including Fords, Sewaren, Colonia, Port Reading, Hopelawn, Keasbey, etc.) looked like either in your youth or before you were born, you will love this book. It's a glimpse into the photo albums of many families throughout the area, and I'm delighted that the authors saw fit to arrange this compilation.

If your into local American history, then this book is for you. Many pictures of historical buldings and the first families of Woodbridge. Check out Volune Two of Woodbridge. Both books offer the reader great information about this beautiful small American town. Woodbridge NJ is home to the Cross Keyes Tavern, a tavern were Gen. George Washington spent the night on his way to New York to become our first President. Woodbridge is also the first town in the colonies to raise the new American Flag.

This is the most complete and practical drafting text book that I have ever read. Not only does it illustrate excellent drafting styles and techniques, it also provides step-by-step instruction on how to create each kind of projection. I believe it raises the bar to all other books exploring this same topic. In my opinion, this book will eventually be included in all classes that prepare students for a professional technical performing arts career.

This book is a reprint of an insightful publication of the 1950's. It describes in a most succinct manner all of the major doctrines of Christianity, with Bible references to give meat to its explanations. It is now out of print, but is well worth the search to obtain a copy. My most recently received one arrived in "new" condition, for which I am most grateful. Both of the authors were secular as well as theological scholars.

This local history contains considerable material of interest to genealogists. It includes the vital records from the ancient town books 1688-1750. In addition there is a list of marriages of Quakers of Woodbridge and nearby places 1709-1815.

I like this book. It was fun because in the kingdom the prince looks stupid. In the beginning of the book I don't like this book but as I keep reading it was fun and exciting. Rosamund told him "I am rich and intelligent and beatiful." I wonder how come she is intelligent, rich and beautiful .Raphael was very very very very very bad because Raphael closed the schools and took gold and money and some really important things. And then Rosamund told him, "You must go to the mountain and live with goats for 1 year." He came back to the castle and married with Rosamund and lived a good life. I learned your mind has to be open not closed.

I liked The King's Equal. The story had cool characters. Rosamund told the prince to be nice because the prince took everything from the town people. I think people should read this story. The story is about Rosamund and Raphael, the prince who wants to marry Rosamund because Raphael can be king then. I learned lots of things from The King's Equal, things about Rosamund, said she has no food. I learned about the wolf. I think the wolf was a magical wolf. People shouldn't be selfish.

The End

I liked the book The King's Equal. I liked the book because Rosamund shows the prince how not to be selfish. I think people and kids should read this book because it shows how you should act and talk to people. Prince Raphael's father died and Raphael's father gave him a blessing. His blessing was,"You should be married to your own equal but if you're not then you will not wear my crown." Then Raphael searches for a wife. Up in the mountains there was a girl named Rosamund and she meets a wolf that talks then the wolf said that he was a good friend of her mother. And then he told her "Your mother gave you a blessing that you will be with your own equal". Then when Rosamund heard from the people that the prince was so selfish and took everything from the people and when she heard she felt very bad and the wolf made her a magic gold necklace. The prince saw Rosamund and said she was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen and when Raphael asked Rosamund to marry him she said,"If you want to marry me then you have to go to the mountains and take care of four goats and return after one year." Then a year goes by and when he returns he brings all of the goats back and when Rosamund saw him she said, "I will marry you." I learned from this book how not to be selfish in life.

D.A. Carson and John Woodbridge have given to the young convert, minister, or seminarian a great gift indeed. It is a compiliation of fictitious letters between a professor and a young Christian who journeys from convert to pastor, and along the way there is distilled a great amount of helpful information about the Christian walk, seminary study, pastoring, evangelicalism, all done in bite sizes.
The metaphor of a journey as the Christian life is appropriate, and well chosen, though it is not, of course, original. The ideas within are not original, nor is the style, approach, or much of anything, but what makes this so valuable is the approachable manner in which introduces the subjects dealt with and who the authors are. The authors are respected, well-known contributors to their specific fields of academia, and they are well known outside of their fields as devout Christian scholars and speakers. One can be sure the advice given within is not the surmising of arm-chair theologians, but the tested wisdom of two men well-acquainted with the academic and practical sides of Christian ministry. Really well done are the chapters on choosing a seminary, and building a library. There is also a great discussion on the difference between academic responsibility and respectability. There is a vast difference between the two!
For the young Christian interested in the pastoral ministry and seminary I highly recommend this volume.

Carson and Woodbridge have done an excellent job telling the story of a man's life from a conversion to Christianity in college until he is mature and serving as a Presbyterian minister later in life. The struggles he deals with, both spiritually and intellectually, become focal points for the authors to share their own insights as professors in one of the foremost evangelical seminaries of our time (and at least Carson was once a pastor also). The story is told in the form of letters from a seminary professor who had been a friend of the main character's father, and the relationship continues and deepens over the years. While the story itself is interesting, the bits of reflection "along with way" are the real gems. The main character and the professor reflect on many topics from relating to our culture, American or otherwise, recent trends in theology and biblical studies, signficant issues of practice in the church today, and just how best to serve God in different contexts. This book is well worth reading no matter your place "along the way".

I refer back to this book several times a year. It's a great introduction to Joseph Eichler and what he accomplished, through his ideal of a modern home for the masses. Some of the homes in this book are truly dream houses for any modern architecture fan. The book isn't full of photos dating from the late 50's/early 60's as one might expect - it's mostly later day photos of beautiful Eichler homes with excellent interior design. For me, this was the only weak point of the book, and why I couldn't give it five stars. I would have enjoyed seing more period photos of the homes, to try and see what the original owners saw when they purchased their homes. I realize that Jerry Ditto et al had to make a hard choice in this regard, and they chose to go with beautiful photos from the current day. After reading this book, you will yearn for your own Eichler, and wonder why more modern homes haven't been designed since. You'll see that Joseph Eichler and his ideas were 50 years ahead of their time, with many of the items found in his homes just now coming into play. A great book for any fan of modern single-dwelling architectue, and a must have for any Eichler owner.

I agree with the other reviewers' comments about the excellence of the Eichler homes and this book. I have many design books, but I keep coming back to this one and never tire of the clean, modern--but not cold--design. I wish Ditto, et al. would produce a video on the subject.

As a little kid, growing up in Southern California in the 1950's, I admired these cool, streamlined houses. I wondered where, or who they came from. Now I know. They were Eichlers'. Or damn good Eichler clones. Whatever the case, this book does a good job showing this type of architecture. Plenty of great,crisp, photography.
