Description
Excerpt from Memorial of the Centennial Celebration of the Battle of Paulus Hook, August 19, 1879: With a History of the Early Settlement and Present Condition of Jersey City, N. J
It was the wish of many citizens that the part relating to Jersey City should be made more comprehensive, but the como mittee felt that it was not their province to enlarge upon what must be the labor of some future historian.
The manufactories have been selected solely with a view to exhibit the rapid growth of the city, and While many more establishments could with propriety have been added, it was not thought to be necessary or desirable, sufficient being given to illustrate the vast interests which centre here, and which have contributed in a few years - within the memory of many of its inhabitants - to transform the sand-hills and marshes of Paulus Hook into a large commercial and manufacturing emporium, which must soon become the Metropolis of the State.
