The History of Jersey Shore Told Through Historic Photographs
(Nashville, TN)
From its pre-Revolutionary War foundations to its status as a tourism hub of the northeast, the Jersey Shore has been an integral part of the fabric of United States history. The stories of the cities and townships of the Jersey Shore reflect a diverse and progressive spirit, and unique, individual cultures that are the foundation of the region’s present-day prosperity.
With fact-filled photo captions and chapter introductions by Joe Czachowski, Historic Photos of Jersey Shore rediscovers the fascinating past of one of the oldest regions in America through nearly 200 rare photographs culled from the Gateway NRA/NPS, Library of Congress, Monmouth County Historical Association Library and Archives, National Archives, NAS Wildwood Aviation Museum, and the New Jersey State Archives, showcased with exceptional clarity and beauty.
In scenes that range from parades to beauty pageants, synagogues to sporting events, boardwalks to lighthouses, Sandy Hook to Cape May, and much more, the Jersey Shore shines through the decades in glorious black-and-white photography, displayed in a large format.
“This book is unique for two reasons,” explains publisher Todd Bottorff, “the high quality of printing and binding and the fact that many have never seen these photos.”
Historic Photos of Jersey Shore is part of Turner Publishing’s Historic Photos series. These books, highlighting the history of the great cities, legendary figures, and pivotal events across America, have been acclaimed as a staple in the collection of anyone who loves history.
