Eagle Rock Reservation is a 400-acre park in West Orange, New Jersey, that offers stunning views of the New York City skyline, the Watchung Mountains, and the Ramapo Valley. The park is a popular destination for hiking, biking, picnicking, and nature photography.

This book is a collection of over 200 vintage photographs that capture the beauty and history of Eagle Rock Reservation. The photographs span the years from the late 1800s to the mid-1900s, and they offer a glimpse into the park's past.

The book is divided into four chapters, each of which focuses on a different aspect of the park's history. The first chapter, "The Early Years," features photographs of the park's early days, when it was known as Orange Mountain. The second chapter, "The Olmsted Era," features photographs of the park's transformation into a landscaped park, under the direction of Frederick Law Olmsted, Jr. The third chapter, "The CCC Era," features photographs of the park's development during the Great Depression, when the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) built many of the park's trails and structures. The fourth chapter, "The Modern Era," features photographs of the park in the post-World War II years.

This book is a must-have for anyone who loves Eagle Rock Reservation. It is a beautiful and informative tribute to one of New Jersey's most cherished parks.
