Wicked Woodbridge &; Crazy Carteret : Vice in New Jersey's Oldest Township

Wicked Woodbridge & Crazy Carteret is an unflinching romp through some of the less-than-respectable events that occurred in New Jersey's oldest townships. Drugs, prostitution, bootlegging, riots, swindles, counterfeiting, and even witchcraft - all have variously appeared on the otherwise pleasant and law-abiding streets of Woodbridge and Carteret. Author Gordon Bond places these local stories firmly within the broader contexts of how the shifting social attitudes and moral standards of the world-at-large play out in our backyards. Gordon Bond is an independent historian, author, and lecturer. He is the founder and ePublisher of www.GardenStateLegacy.com, a free online quarterly magazine dedicated to New Jersey history. He is also the author of James Parker: A Printer on the Eve of Revolution, North Jersey Legacies, and Hidden History of South Jersey, and has also written a wide variety of articles and reviews for Garden State Legacy.
