Pavements in the Garden

"Extensively documented from newspapers of the period and local public and private records, this work links together, in a regional and national context, South Jersey's ferry suburb of the Town of Camden, railroad suburb of Haddon Heights, and suburban city of Cherry Hill. It chronicles the arrival of the steamboat, locomotive, and automobile and the ongoing nineteenth- and twentieth-century enterprises that stimulated the growth and development of an area that is a vital part of the Delaware Valley." "Pavements in the Garden brings into focus the events of the past and the controversies of the present, and contributes a unique overview of the changing pattern of suburbanization in southern New Jersey that contributes to the national suburban model."--BOOK JACKET.
