Jersey Shore: Vintage Images of Bygone Days is an illustrated cultural history of "The Shore" as it evolved in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The author recounts stories of the people and events that shaped the physical, economic, and social development of the coastal resort towns, recapturing their glory days (boardwalks and beaches) and their tragedies (storms and shipwrecks) in 172 high-quality, b/w vintage (and a few contemporary) photographs.
