Camp Merritt (Images of America) - Historical Book About New Jersey Military Camp - Perfect for History Buffs, Military Enthusiasts & Local Historians

This tells the story of Camp Merritt mostly through pictures. I live near a monument honoring those who served at the camp. The photos gave a nice sense of how the camp looked and how big it was. The photos show the beginnings and end of the camp.Photos include troops marching to the Alpine landing as they began their journey to Europe. One photo shows the historic Kearney house in the background. Photos also include neighboring towns like New Milford where the water plant provided water to Camp Merritt.This gave me a greater sense of appreciation of the history of this part of Bergen County and a greater appreciation for those involved with Camp Merritt.
