Revised Edition - Belleville and Nutley in the Civil War

Cherry Blossom Press announces the revision of Belleville and Nutley in the Civil War - a Brief History by Anthony Buccino.

The 2017 revision is noted by a new cover on the paperback edition and extended biographies of some soldiers along with notes on famous Civil War veterans buried in Belleville's oldest cemeteries.

The book is a compilation of information documenting the participation of the New Jersey towns of Belleville and Nutley in the American Civil War. 

The text includes information on six local soldiers - three from Belleville and three from Nutley - killed in action in the War Between the States, plus information on the battle campaigns in which they gave their lives. 

Additional information in this brief history includes local participation in various New Jersey and other state militias.

Available in print and as an ebook on Amazon and Kindle

Where has the summer gone?

It's been a while since we've posted any activity here. That doesn't mean we haven't been busy. Author Anthony Buccino has been delving knee-deep and more into research for his upcoming book on murder, mayhem and major crimes in a small north Jersey town to be named later. 

Meanwhile, Buccino has been working since last September with Belleville Town Councilman Kevin Kennedy and Tom Grolimond to identify the addresses, locate family members and dedicate street signs to the Belleville Sons who paid for our freedom. 

Streets have been dedicated in honor of Henry Benson, Arthur Burke, Frank Cancelliere, Roger Crowell, Richard Hayes, John Hoar, Glenn Nelson, Albert E. Pole,  Donald Saunders, and John Verian.

In 2006, Buccino urged the Belleville council to name streets in the Essex Park development in honor of fallen Belleville sons. Streets were renamed in honor of named for Raymond De Luca, Carmine Olivo, Clatie Cunningham Jr. and William Hamilton. No formal ceremony was held within the gated community.

Further street dedications scheduled include Michael Flynn in September and Donald Murray in October.

Buccino has also begun to post photos from his vast archive on to a new Facebook page called, are you ready? Photography by Anthony Buccino. The photos are all over the block, literally and figuratively as he has shot choice photos while walking around his block and selected photos from his archives including daily commutes into the city, views of Jersey City and other travels here and there. 

Independence Day - Belleville, N.J.

Anthony Buccino was asked to speak at the Belleville Historical Society's annual 4th of July morning ceremony in the cemetery of the old Belleville Dutch Reformed Church on the corner of Main and Rutgers streets, Belleville, N.J. More than 65 veterans of the American Revolution are buried in the small cemetery.

Buccino and Nutley Commissioner Steve Rogers, both Belleville-raised, were selected to raise the American   flag near the resting place of Captain Henry Benson who died of his wounds in the Civil War 151 years ago.

Buccino's Remarks

"237 years ago The Declaration of Independence set our country's course. We cherish our freedom. Sometimes we take it for granted. But freedom is not free.

Our sons, brothers, uncles and daughters have fought through generations to preserve this country.

Around us are the graves of more than 65 American Revolution veterans, including that of Henry Brown who perished at Valley Forge. And one of three Civil War casualties, Captain Henry Benson.
