Through the pages of this book, we encounter every
aspect of Keyport's rich heritage: bustling street-scenes;
magnificent old theaters; busy carriage factories; the oyster
industry in its heyday; the airport where Charles Lindbergh
once made a mysterious visit; Keyport's own National
Guard unit; the Central Railroad of New Jersey at the peak
of the age of steam; and the devastating fires that nearly
destroyed Keyport in the nineteenth century.
