Long life recalls frontier days in early New Jersey
Daniel Castner, now aged 83, recounts vivid memories from the frontier era. He recalls a 1780s march near Pluckamin, a violent skirmish with Continental troops and British forces, imprisonments, the destruction of a forge and mill, and the deaths or fates of several neighbors. He reflects on family history, property, and the nearby forge community as he remembers figures such as Captain Voorhees, local farmers, and notable events across Forge Hill and Changewater.
