The Franklin and Sterling Hill mines of northern New Jersey are known for the quality, diversity, and complexity of their zinc ores and associated mineral wealth and for the important role they played in the zinc mining history of the United States. This book delves into the experiences and memories of thirty-four narrators whose lives have intersected with the history and legacy of these mines and the New Jersey Zinc Company, the corporation that developed and worked these mines between 1897 and 1986. The narrators provide perspectives on the mines and mining operations, life in the company towns, and the legacy of what were once superlative examples of corporate U.S. mining enterprises.

In rare photographs, the book reveals the history of the people and places in the communities of Franklin, Hamburg, Ogdensburg, and Hardyston. Franklin, Hamburg, Ogdensburg, and Hardyston chronicles the settlement and life of the Wallkill Valley area of northern New Jersey. Beginning entirely as Hardyston Township, the area developed into four communities, each with distinctive qualities. Franklin is the "Fluorescent Mineral Capital of the World," as declared by the U.S. Congress, and with its zinc mines, is known as the "Model Mining Town of America." Hamburg from early times was a crossroads and business district. Ogdensburg possessed several mines and Thomas Edison interests. Hardyston, with its lakes for summer visitors and still-thriving farmland, retains the beauty of its natural surroundings.
