BOUND BROOK THE PLACE TO DWELL COPYRIGHT. 1909. THE NATCON PRESS PUBLISHED BY BOARD OF TRADE 20 VESEY STREET. NEW YORK BOUND BROOK, N. J. :ii'!:ii CD t: oa °= -=^:|S5 &S ^£5'3'5 fn ^ 24642 2 SEP 8 1909 ^ BOUND BROOK THE PLACE TO DWELL IX these days when new parks and manors and real estate schemes of various kinds are Ijcing- started with astonishing rapidity it is positively refreshing to come upon a place that has been upon the map long enough to have a history and a character of its own—a place of traditions and individuality. Residence in a new place means being a pioneer with all the discomforts that that word suggests. The wise man who wants to live in peace and comfort lets the other fellow do the pioneering and selects as the place for his home the town which is already settled, not a town which is going to be, but one which is, one which has been tried and found worthy. If he is a New York, or a Newark or a Philadelphia man, his home must be within easy reach of the city in which he does his business or carries on his profession. By easy he means within a reasonal)le distance and with a com- fortable means of transportation. He wants to live in a place that is well equipped with those facilities which make living easy. He wants good streets and sidewalks. He must have good lights and a good sanitary system. He wants shade trees and he wants an abundant water supply. Good schools, libraries and churches are a necessity. The wise man says, "My home must be where these things are established— I am willing to maintain, to ex- tend and to improve them, but life is too short for me to go to a new or raw place and establish them." A place that has these things established has shown that it has a reason to exist and is worth investigating and is worth living in. In addition to these things the wise man further requires that his home should be in a healthy neighborhood, that the landscape should be not only beautiful but varied and that the surrounding countrv be also attractive and suitable for the expansion of the town which he is selecting for his home. He wants to live in a place that not only was alive a hundred years ago but that is alive and growing to-day. One might well say that the wise man's quest requirements was a ^•ain one if he expected to find all of these combined in one community. Admit this but one must also ad- for and if mit that if such places exist they are worth looking found they are worthy of the search. guide This book is published to help the searchers and to be a delectable to the wise. It cannot point out the way to all of the places for fortunately there are many happy communities where men dwell together in comfort and happiness which meet some of the requirements set forth but the publishers know of none more worthy of the search or which unites so many of the advan- tages as the place whose name appears upon the title page "Bound Brook—the Place to Dzvell." In the first place Bound Brook is an old town. It was settled in 16S3. More than two hundred years ago the Sheriff of New York City had his farm on the Raritan River and his coun- try house stood upon the site now occupied by Mr. George La ]\Ionte whose beautiful home with its spacious lawms and garden It presents is one of the most attractive places in the State. more the air of a Virginia estate than of a suburban home, yet centuries it it is so near to New York that for more than two has siven rest and comfort to its various owners whose business lives have been spent in the metropolis. The La Tourette House, a view of which adorns this book as the frontispiece, is another of the old Bound Brook houses. This house was the headquarters of Baron Steuben during the Revolutionary War and is one of the most interesting and best preserved of the Colonial houses is a still in existence. The old Boise house on the Raritan Ri\er quaint specimen of Dutch architecture. The family bought the land from the Indians and has continued in uninterrupted posses- sion ever since. The old Fisher Ta\-ern in the western end of the has been town is another one of the Revolutionary buildings and visited by many antiquarians from all over the country. These places are only mentioned to show the unusual historic interest which attaches itself to Boimd Brook. of This is not the time to recall the Revolutionary history this reci'in but everv inch is historic ground. \\'ashington twice encamped with liis army uii the hillsitle jusl norlh i>\ \hc town and "the Revolutionary records contain many imporiani letters written by him while here. The site occupied by the Revolution- ary Army was ])urchase(l a few years ago l)v one of Bound Brook's patriotic citizens and deeded l)\ him to the W'ashino-ton Camp Ground Association, and here on each Fourth of July ixatriotic exercises are held which are largely attended bv people from all the surrounding country. Time and space will not per- mit further reference to the past, especially as this article is prepared for the present and hir the future. Judged by the requirements of the wise man. how does Bound Brook appeal to him? It is an established community; it has a history traditions and of its own : it is not like a thousand other places, but it possesses peculiar interest on account of its own past. It is accessible. The Central Railroad of New Tersey is known as the commuter's favorite road. The equipment of its trains is unsurpassed and they arrive and depart on time. Bound Brook is situated at the junction of the Philadelphia & Reading Railway with the New Tersey Central and has the full advantage of the express service by which New York City is reached in fifty minutes and Philadelphia in an hour and a quarter. Newark can not only be reached by the Central Railroad but also bv the Lehigh \'alley. and in this way Bound Brook to-dav has the use of the McAdoo tunnels and "three minutes from Jersev Citv to Broadw-ay" is a fact and not a dream. Eighty passenger trains a day means a practically unlimited service. The writer of this article recently made a study of the time tables of other railroads and they will convince the wise man that Bound Brook is more advantageously situated as far as train service is concerned than any other town w'ithin commuting distance of either New York or Philadelphia. The resident of Bound Brook can go and come when he chooses. How about those public utilities which make living easy, com- fortable and health)? A town two hundred years old must per- force have beautiful shade trees. The streets are established and I)y easy grades lead up from the depot to the hills and ])lateaus upon which the comfortal)le homes of tlie residents are Imilt. The natural formation of the ground made it possible a number of years ago to establish a perfect sewer system and the Bound Brook Water Company supplies an abundance of water from mountain springs supplemented by artesian wells. The Public Service Corporation provides gas and electricity and also trolley connections with all of the adjacent towns. More than one hundred years ago Michael Field left a sum of money for the free school system which is to-day one of Bound Brook's chief attractions. Four splendid school buildings includ- ing the magnificent new Washington High School on Union Ave- nue indicate Bovmd Brook's interest in education. Enough has been said to show that the Bound Brook of to- day is wide awake and fully alive to its present opportunities and the wise man can here find others of like mind ready to co-operate for the further development of its already existing- institutions. Nature has done nuich for Bound Brook situated as it is on the great bend of the Raritan River at the base of the Watchung Mountain. The Green Brook (or the Boundary Brook) on the east, the picturesque Chimney Rock Brook on the west make a beautiful setting. The drives in the immediate neighborhood through mountain gorges or along the river banks are of rare beauty and are continually luring the wise to establish their coun- try homes outside of the town limits. Where there are so many beautiful homes it would be in- vidious to make comparisons but the illustrations in this book will give a partial idea of what exists here. Bound Brook has only one invitation to the wise man, "Come and see"—and is willing to abide by his verdict. THE IDEAL TOWN By Ex-Mayor Ricitard II.

  • Bloody Bound Brook & the Lost Hessian
    by Bob Mayers It would not be until the end of World War II that a diary was rediscovered that shed new light on the importance of the Battle of Bound Brook. t dawn on Palm Sunday, April 13, 1777, in the third year of the American Revolution, a Hessian captain with his company of thirty Jaegers Afaltered and fell as intense musket and cannon fire tore into them from an American redoubt. They were fearlessly attempting a frontal assault over a stone bridge that crossed the Bound Brook at a New Jersey riverbank hamlet of the same name. The Hessians—German mercenaries—were the most deadly light infantry in the world at the time. These elite special forces were feared by their American opponents. Armed with short carbine- type German hunting rifles, they dressed in green and brown to blend in with their surroundings, unlike the blazing red wool uniforms of their British allies. That, morning the small unit of Jaegers was the advanced party of a British force of 4,000 men. These Redcoat invaders were attempting a surprise attack on an exposed front line outpost on the Raritan River. It was defended by a garrison of 500 Continental troops who were responsible for guarding the three bridges that crossed the Raritan River that were likely to be used by the British in moves against Washington’s main army at Captain Johann Ewald Morristown. C. A. Jensen, after a drawing by H. The Hessian commander, Captain Johann Ewald, sensed that J. Aldenrath something was dreadfully wrong. Although his rangers were especially combat-trained for both rugged terrain and urban fighting, they were outnumbered and outgunned; they were being slaughtered as they charged into the thick gunfire at the fortification.

Copyright 1928 The Society of Colonial Wars in the Stci tc of New Jersey Press oj Innes & Sons Philadelphia PREFACE N the foreword of "The First Americans" the Editors say, "The beginning of the thirteen English Colonies, so big I with destiny, have stirred the reverent curiosity of Ameri' can historians generation after generation." It is one of the ob' jects of the Society of Colonial Wars to promote an interest in and knowledge of Colonial history, not only by historians but by the ordinary man who professes that he has no time to devote to things that are past. In this day when distance is made unimportant by the motor vehicle, and we can in a day cover a mileage, which would have taken many days in Colonial times, there is no excuse for unfamiliarity or lack of knowledge of the historic spots in one's own State. When the State is one with a his- tory so fascinating and so closely connected with our National history, there is even less excuse for ignorance.

When Howe victorious our weak armies chased, And, sure of conquest, laid Cesarea waste, . " Philip Freneau, An Address The original "Battles and Skirmishes" map was researched and drawn in 1945 by John D. Alden, then Historian of the New Jersey Society of the Sons of the American Revolution. In 1965 D. Stanton Hammond made additions and revisions for the society. It was Hammond who brought the map to the attention of the Bureau of Geology and Topography and the Bureau of Archives and History with the suggestion that it be produced for the Bicen- tennial. The Bureau of Archives and History provided the research, using Alden's original files as a starting point. The Bureau of Geol- ogy and Topography provided the draftsman and the technical car- topographic assistance. The intention of the map is to suggest the approximate sites of the various battles and skirmishes that occurred during the Revo- lutionary War rather than to pinpoint the exact locations. Along the same lines, this pamphlet will provide only brief descriptions of the actions, adding bibliographic references for more detailed information. The actual number of violent events that occurred in New Jersey during the Revolutionary War years can never be determined.
