Summary "The Kirk on Rutgers Farm" by Frederick Brückbauer is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This work delves into the history of a prominent church in New York City, encapsulating a narrative that traces its significant impact on the local community from its establishment to its centennial celebration. The narrative is enriched with details about important figures associated with the church, notably the Rutgers family, and their contributions to both the church and the wider community. The opening of the narrative introduces the reader to the church's longstanding historical significance, remarking on how its early congregants embodied the steadfast spirit of the Knickerbocker type. It outlines the church's evolution over its first century, highlighting both its challenges and triumphs—particularly the resilience of its later congregation, who remained devout even amidst dire financial circumstances. Various pivotal characters are mentioned, including Henry Rutgers, whose philanthropic contributions were instrumental in the church's existence and growth, setting a foundation for a legacy that extends far beyond mere brick and mortar.
