The authors of Exploring the Little Rivers of New Jersey now explore one of the earliest and most important land routes in the state. The Old York Road ran from Philadelphia to Elizabethtown (now Elizabeth), the first capital of the Province of New Jersey. Like most Colonial roads, and many modern ones, it followed the route of a much earlier Indian trail. It became the superhighway of its time because the Swift-Sure stage coach could take passengers from Philadelphia to New York in two days. The Cawleys have written a book that combines the history, legend, and folklore of the area, with a travelogue for the motorist who would like to retrace the route of the Swift-Sure stagecoach. Despite the enormous changes brought about by modern highways, housing developments, and supermarkets, much of the original road remains in use. Here is history that is both authentic and imaginative, detailed and colorful, in a book which makes one realize how much of the past is still with us.
