With his Speed Graphic camera, Harry Dorer roamed New Jersey for decades, capturing newsworthy black and white images for the Newark Sunday Call and Newark Sunday News, and this collection of more than 300 photographs by Dorer (most from the 1920s and 30s) documents what is now a vanished landscape. His photographs of Pine Barrens residents are both gritty and charming—honest depictions of quiet people living in poverty—while his scenes of rural northern New Jersey bear witness to the rudimentary living conditions there before good roads and electricity came to Sussex and Warren counties. And Dorer's images of the state's Ku Klux Klan presence and the burning hulk of the passenger ship Morro Castle are raw history. ‘’New Jersey Böyleydi: Fotoğrafçı Harry C. Dorer’’ Dorer’in kamerasından 1920 ve 30’lu yılların New Jersey şehrine bir bakış. Kitaptaki 300 resim sayesinde şehrin yoksulluk içinde yaşayan insanlarının elektriğin o dönemde henüz ulaşmadığı yerlerini ve Ku Klux Klan’ın varlığını gözlemleme şansı bulacaksınız.
