Harrison, initially part of Essex County and later of Bergen County, is today in Hudson County. The original township, dating from 1840, was larger than the present mile-square area, which was established in 1867. With close to two hundred images, Harrison examines this community, which since its earliest days has been synonymous with industry. The simple country lane along which copper was transported to its Schuyler Avenue destination soon became Harrison Avenue-today, a main thoroughfare in the town known as "the Hive of Industry." This close-knit community of hardworking residents shares not only an industrial history-with well-known corporations, including RCA, Otis Elevator, and Worthington-but also a great athletic heritage. Among its best-known residents is Frank E. Rodgers, who served as mayor for more than four decades.

By: Thomas Donahue,Karen Donahue

Murder on the Isle of Capri THIS BOOK will keep you on the edge of your cozy reading chair: An Italian friend and colleague of Criminology Professor Marin Ryan dies in an accidental fall. The community in Genoa is devastated by the tragic end of a beloved father, grandfather, and loving husband. Marin and John Hunter are equally in sorrow as they walk down the street in the classic Italian burial procession. The wife wants Marin to finish a project her husband had been working on for their grandson—a historical book on sixteenth-century pirates. Honored, she agrees. Marin review her friend’s notes to discover his disturbing connection between those historical pirates and three present-day wealthy families. It’s a secret the patriarchs kill to keep. Was her friend’s death an accident? John and Marin journey across the Atlantic and the Pacific in an attempt to know the truth. The more they find, the more they are at risk. At each stop, from Italy to New York to Hawaii and back, they are in the sights of the modern pirates. Over 1000 reviews across all book sites: 79% 5 star.
