Yountakah Country
A Poetic View of Nutley Old and New
By Anthony Buccino
Buccino
takes some history, some folk lore
and some
current news and mixes them together
in this
humorous and thoughtful collection
about the
little town of Nutley, N.J.,
on the
Yountakah River.
Buccino's
own take on the township mixes history, tales and observations in a rich mix of
what may or may not be the true history of Annie Oakley, the ITT tower, Lenni
Lenape or Valium, not to mention the Velodrome and the headless rider or the
parlous waters that rage through town on rainy days.
Knowing some
of Nutley's history, readers will appreciate the twists and turns and maybe
even learn something about the quiet little "Norman Rockwell town" in
northern New Jersey.
