Description
With Eager Hands is the biography of Elizabeth Coleman White (1871-1954), an extraordinary woman and one of New Jersey's shining stars. Horticulturist, conservationist, and social advocate, Elizabeth was a powerful voice in The American Cranberry Growers' Association. With Frederick V. Coville, she cultivated the modern blueberry. Her contributions to improving social conditions and agricultural practices in New Jersey were outstanding. Her life's work and that of other family members is preserved at Whitesbog Village, past headquarters of Joseph J. White, Inc., once the largest cranberry farm in New Jersey. Albertine Senske presents the details of Elizabeth's rich and consequential life with infectious passion.
