    About this ebook

    In 1848, farmer Peter Ramsey sold part of his land to the Paterson and Ramapo Railroad for a right-of-way and a station. The Ramsey family had been local landholders since the 1740s, and the railroad timetables called the stop Ramsey's Station. A town developed around the station, and Main Street, which bisected the railroad tracks, became a bustling hub of commerce that supported a growing population. Hotels, general and specialty stores, blacksmithshops, and other businesses offered goods and services to the residents of this center of rural life. Ramsey's Station became the shipping point for strawberries grown throughout the area, making it the nation's strawberry capital until the late 1800s. The fields are gone, but photographs and stories of that era are included in Ramsey, many published here for the first time. Discover Ramsey's past and the pride felt by generations who have called Ramsey their home.

    Ron Kase

    After a teaching, administrative, and grant-writing career spanning more than four decades that included positions at the New York City College of Technology (CUNY), Fairleigh Dickenson University, Empire State College (SUNY), Mercy College, and Ramapo College of New Jersey, Ron Kase now writes daily. His recent regional history books, Bill Miller’s Riviera (with Tom Austin) and New Jersey Meadowlands (with Robert Ceberio), were favorably reviewed and enjoyed brisk sales. His earlier novels, Fiddler’s elbow, Fiddler’s Revenge, and the compilation Fiddler’s Return, developed a cadre of loyal readers. The novels were optioned for motion pictures. As a sociologist, Dr. Kase is intrigued with the national political process and the influence of religion on elections, which is contrary to the Constitutional guarantee of the separation of church and state, in which the state is protected from religion. He also believes that the second amendment clearly does not guarantee anyone the right to be armed except for “members of a well ordered militia.” Ron Kase’s new writing project retells the tragic real-life tale of the 1957 murder in Ramsey, New Jersey, of a fifteen-year-old cheerleader and honor student by the psychopathic killer Edgar Smith, who is serving a life term in a California prison. Coauthor attorney Anthony Iannarelli has carefully researched the case along with the amazing events that allowed a convicted murderer to go free, write books, and go on a two-year university speaking tour all with the help of William F. Buckley, editor of the National Review. The story is ready to be exposed again as one of the most serious perversions of our justice system. ronkase@rocketmail.com
