New Jersey was the “Crossroads of the American Revolution,” and as battles raged, colonial taverns formed the social network that held the state together. A haven for Patriots and Loyalists alike, taverns were the “seedbeds” for the Revolution, strongholds for political activities, beacons for travelers, and venues for entertainment, merriment, and libations. Author Michael C. Gabriele spotlights the lives of New Jersey’s little-known colonial/Revolutionary War luminaries and how taverns were used as the main stage for the unfolding drama of a colony transitioning into statehood.
