"Jersey City and Its Historic Sites" by Harriet Phillips Eaton is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book explores the rich history and significant landmarks of Jersey City, tracing its development from the times of the Lenni Lenape Native Americans through colonial periods and early American history. It is likely to appeal to readers interested in local history, culture, and the evolution of urban settings in America. The opening of the work introduces the historical context of Jersey City, beginning with its early inhabitants, the Lenni Lenape Indians, who called the land Sheyichbi. Eaton discusses their way of life, customs, and interactions with European settlers, particularly focusing on their hospitality and community structure. As the narrative unfolds, it sets the stage for later events in the region's history, including the arrival of Dutch settlers and the establishment of treaties, laying a foundation for subsequent developments that shaped Jersey City. This initial section paints a vivid picture of the cultural tapestry that existed before European colonization and hints at the complex relationships that would follow.
