Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Asbury Park and Ocean Grove Ocean Grove antedates Asbury Park by two years. It was first used as a campmeeting ground by a few Methodist churches nearby, and it was the intention of the Ocean Grove Association to reserve the property for that pur pose only, but the extraordinary growth of the place compelled a revision of the original plans. It is yet the largest campmeeting grounds in the world, although cottages have largely superseded tents and boarding houses have been replaced by finely equipped hotels.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Asbury Park and Ocean Grove: With Their Points of Interest At first thought it seems decidedly odd that a town offering almost unequalled advantages as a summer resort should also hold out many and important advantages as a winter home, and it is not surprising that many who have experienced the grateful coolness of Asbury Park at times when residents of places a few miles inland were fairly sweltering under the burning rays of the summer sun, should laugh at the idea of Asbury being warmer than its inland neighbors during the-period when the arctic wind doth blow, and our old but erratic friend, Jack Frost, comes to the front. Yet such is the fact; and observations extend ing over several years show that Asbury Park is just about as much warmer than New York and Philadel phia in winter as it is cooler than those cities in summer, the temperature averaging about eight degrees warmer in winter and about eight degrees cooler in summer.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the 2005 New Jersey Author Award for Scholarly Non-Fiction from the New Jersey Studies Academic Alliance Long before Bruce Springsteen picked up a guitar; before Danny DeVito drove a taxi; before Jack Nicholson flew over the cuckoo's nest, Asbury Park was a seashore Shangri-La filled with shimmering odes to civic greatness, world-renowned baby parades, temples of retail, and atmospheric movie palaces. It was a magnet for tourists, a summer vacation mecca-to some degree New Jersey's own Coney Island. In Asbury Park's Glory Days, award-winning author Helen-Chantal Pike chronicles the city's heyday-the ninety-year period between 1890 and 1980. Pike illuminates the historical conditions contributing to the town's cycle of booms and recessions. She investigates the factors that influenced these peaks, such as location, lodging, dining, nightlife, merchandising, and immigration, and how and why millions of people spent their leisure time within this one-square-mile boundary on the northern coast of the state. Pike also includes an epilogue describing recent attempts to resurrect this once-vibrant city.
Download or read book Circular Vol 107 written by United States. Bureau Of Entomology and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-05 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Circular, Vol. 107: January 12, 1909 This species was introduced into the United States some time prior to 1879, in which year, on the authority of Mr. Jacob Doll, a living moth was captured in a spider's web at Hoboken, N. J In 1884 Dr. E. B. Southwick, then entomologist of the public parks of New York City, recognized the destructive Work of this species in Central Park. In 1887 it was seen at Newark, N. J but was not actually recorded as occurring in this country until the following year. In 1890 the junior author observed the moths at electric lights at Orange, N. J. Fortunately the spread of this insect, particularly in the immediate vicinity of New York City, has been very slow, a fact which may be attributed to several causes, (1) the slowness of the flight of the female, (2) the dominance of sparrows in large cities, causing our native birds, such as woodpeckers, to be driven to the country, where they destroy the moths, and (3) the bowl-shaped electric-light globes, hollow at the top and closed at the bottom, which were formerly in general use in our large cities. The males are strongly attracted to brilliant lights and many were captured and perished in these globes in earlier years. Other cities in New Jersey' where this species has been troublesome are Elizabeth, Irvington, Montclair, Arlington, Asbury Park, Ocean Grove, and New Brunswick. Mr. H. M. Russell of this Bureau collected specimens at Bridgeport, Conn, in 1901. The species is now an inhabitant also of Staten Island and has spread on Long Island well beyond the confines of greater New York. South ward it was reported a pest, in 1901, at Ocean Grove, N. J and by 1905 it was recorded by Felt as occurring at Kensico, N. Y., 25 miles north of New York City. By 1907 it was captured at New Haven, Conn, by Prof. H. W. Foote. It is now stated to be injurious in the vicinity of Boston, Mass. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the latest mystery from New York Times bestselling author Charles Todd, World War I nurse and amateur sleuth Bess Crawford investigates an old murder that occurred during her childhood in India, a search for the truth that will transform her and leave her pondering a troubling question: How can facts lie? Bess Crawford enjoyed a wondrous childhood in India, where her father, a colonel in the British Army, was stationed on the Northwest Frontier. But an unforgettable incident darkened that happy time. In 1908, Colonel Crawford's regiment discovered that it had a murderer in its ranks, an officer who killed five people in India and England yet was never brought to trial. In the eyes of many of these soldiers, men defined by honor and duty, the crime was a stain on the regiment's reputation and on the good name of Bess's father, the Colonel Sahib, who had trained the killer. A decade later, tending to the wounded on the battlefields of France during World War I, Bess learns from a dying Indian sergeant that the supposed murderer, Lieutenant Wade, is alive—and serving at the Front. Bess cannot believe the shocking news. According to reliable reports, Wade's body had been seen deep in the Khyber Pass, where he had died trying to reach Afghanistan. Soon, though, her mind is racing. How had he escaped from India? What had driven a good man to murder in cold blood? Wanting answers, she uses her leave to investigate. In the village where the first three killings took place, she discovers that the locals are certain that the British soldier was innocent. Yet the present owner of the house where the crime was committed believes otherwise, and is convinced that Bess's father helped Wade flee. To settle the matter once and for all, Bess sets out to find Wade and let the courts decide. But when she stumbles on the horrific truth, something that even the famous writer Rudyard Kipling had kept secret all his life, she is shaken to her very core. The facts will damn Wade even as they reveal a brutal reality, a reality that could have been her own fate.
Download or read book The Grandmother Galaxy written by Shirley Ann Ranck and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2012-12-17 with total page 205 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Grandmother Galaxy is one womans journey into three spirals of learning that have emerged and confront us in the 21st century--womens creative spirituality, a growing appreciation of our earthly home, and a deepening respect for the varied cultures created by human beings. In each of these spirals the image of a fierce and powerful old woman arises as central to our journey. If wise old women were visible and powerful perhaps we would all be better educated about the female half of our religious history. If we honored the crone as a symbol of our earthly transformation, the cycle of death and new life, perhaps we would be less likely to destroy the life-giving systems of our planet. If we learned to respect indigenous cultures where ol;d women are still revered, perhaps we could stem the violence against women, and between cultures, that pervades so much of our world. The Grandmother Galaxy explores some of these possibilities and asks: Could a growing galaxy of grandmothers lead us onto new paths for the future?
Download or read book Lost Amusement Parks of the North Jersey Shore written by Rick Geffken and George Severini and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2017 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By the end of the 19th century, New Jersey coastline was dotted with thriving amusement parks but are just fond and fading memories today. The Jersey Shore has always attracted people seeking relief from summer heat and humidity. Long before Europeans came here, the native Lenape clammed, fished, and played games on the beach and in the surf. These original people could scarcely have imagined that, by the end of the 19th century, the 120-mile-long coastline would be filled with amusement parks featuring gentle kiddie car rides, terrifying roller coasters, merry-go-rounds, and fast-food emporiums. James Bradley in Asbury Park and William Sandlass Jr. in Highland Beach created mass entertainment for hundreds of thousands of people. Their seaside recreation centers, along with those in Long Branch, Bradley Beach, Pleasure Bay, and others, endured for years. Sadly, they are now just distant and vanishing memories that are resurrected in this piece.
