Synopsis
Summer visitors and year-round residents alike are sure to discover Jersey Shore lore that captures their fancy in this entertaining account of the people, places, and event that have shaped New Jersey's famous shoreline., Summer visitors and year-round residents alike are sure to discover Jersey Shore lore that captures their fancy in this entertaining account of the people, places, and events that have shaped New Jersey's famous shoreline. From ghost stories and the comic misadventures of the early Miss America Pageant to the dynamics of the changing coastline and poignant portraits of traditional crafts workers, Russell Roberts and Rich Youmans have chronicled the fascinating history and heritage of the New Jersey Shore. In this book you'll meet the luminaries who've frequented the Shore--from President Ulysses Grant strolling through Long Branch to Grace Kelly learning to surf at Ocean City. You'll find out why the boardwalk was invented, and also why early ones were removable. Join the authors as they pay tribute to the Shore's forgotten inventors, including Simon Lake, who some consider the true father of the modern submarine. Relive the Jersey Shore's role in wartime and learn the story of the mysterious Nazi submarine sunken off of Point Pleasant Beach. Read about Lucy the Margate Elephant, as a well as her two long-gone "cousins."

- e***s (19)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseI would definitely recommend this seller! They were both kind and helpful throughout the whole process, willing to share additional information when requested. Their shipping was prompt, and my book arrived much earlier than anticipated (in very secure packaging, as well)! All details of my order were as described, and I'll definitely be buying again if I'm looking for anything similar. Thank you for the early birthday present :)1954 Ides of March by Thorton Wilder (#145111018396)
