The Raritan: Notes On A River And A Family is a non-fiction book written by John Charles Van Dyke in 1915. The book is a collection of essays that explore the Raritan River, which flows through the state of New Jersey in the United States, and the author's own family history. Van Dyke, who was a noted art historian and conservationist, uses his keen observational skills and love for nature to describe the beauty and significance of the Raritan River.The book is divided into two parts, with the first part focusing on the river itself. Van Dyke describes the Raritan's course, its history, and its importance to the people who live along its banks. He also discusses the wildlife that inhabits the river and the surrounding areas, including fish, birds, and mammals.The second part of the book is a memoir of Van Dyke's family, who were early settlers in the Raritan Valley. He provides a detailed account of his ancestors' lives, including their struggles and triumphs, and their impact on the development of the region.Throughout the book, Van Dyke's prose is lyrical and evocative, painting vivid pictures of the natural world and the people who inhabit it. The Raritan: Notes On A River And A Family is a timeless work that celebrates the beauty and importance of nature and the role that family history plays in shaping our understanding of the world around us.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
