Gouldtown

Gouldtown: A Very Remarkable Settlement Of Ancient Date is a historical book written by William Steward in 1913. The book explores the history and culture of Gouldtown, a small settlement in southern New Jersey that was founded by a group of free African Americans in the early 18th century. Steward delves into the origins of the settlement, tracing its roots back to the arrival of a group of African slaves in the area in the mid-1600s. He discusses the various challenges faced by the settlers, including discrimination and economic hardship, and highlights the many achievements and contributions of the community over the years. The book is a fascinating glimpse into the little-known history of African American settlement in the United States, and provides a valuable perspective on the struggles and triumphs of a remarkable group of people.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
