"Woodside, the North End of Newark, N.J." by C. G. Hine is a historical account written during the late 19th century. The book delves into the rich history, legends, and ghost stories of Woodside, an area in Newark, New Jersey. It likely illustrates the transformation from an agricultural community into a residential one, chronicling the experiences and memories of local inhabitants. The opening of the historical narrative lays the groundwork for understanding the evolution of Woodside, describing its initial status as a farming region and its eventual development into a township. Hine introduces early historical events, local legends, and personal anecdotes, framing each piece of information with a touch of whimsy and nostalgia. He reflects on the natural beauty of the area, recounts ghostly tales, and mentions significant families and individuals who have shaped the community's history. Through this personal lens, Hine sets the stage for a detailed exploration of the region's past, further enriched by accounts from its older residents. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
