Download or read book Place Names of the Jersey Shore written by Lee Ireland and published by Booksurge Publishing. This book was released on 2010-01-04 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Place Names of the Jersey Shore - Why did they name it that?" describes the fascinating story of over 300 places located in one of the nation's most visited summer destinations. This edition covers Brigantine Island to Cape May Point, Atlantic City, Ocean City, Sea Isle City and Stone Harbor, Wildwood, Cape May and Delaware Bay communities. The cities, roads, waterways and other places of all areas of Atlantic and Cape May Counties, New Jersey are covered. Readers will learn that the real origin of many names is, often times, quite different from what seems to be the obvious explanation. For example, the Boardwalk is named for Alex Boardman, not the boards you walk on, Longport is named for its founder, not its shape and Stone Harbor honors the Stone family; there's not a stone on the bottom of the harbor there! Historical notes are lavishly distributed among the entries. Personal recollections from the author, a life-long resident of the shore, also accompany many entries. The book, which is thoroughly researched and documented, includes many photos which illustrate the unique nature and history of the shore area. Each entry contains GPS coordinates. "Place Names of the Jersey Shore - Why did they name it that?" makes a great read for visitors to the shore area and residents alike. Anyone who enjoys history, geography, folklore and the origin of names will enjoy this book.

Book excerpt: The Jersey Shore, our most treasured asset, the envy of forty-nine other states, comes alive in this new book by the reporter and writer who knows New Jersey—and the Jersey Shore—best. Every conceivable topic—where to eat, where to stay, landmarks and attractions, what to do with the kids—is covered with the kind of inside information you just won’t find on tourism web sites or Facebook. All one hundred-plus Shore towns are included, from Sandy Hook to Cape May. There are hundreds of restaurant listings and recommendations. The book also contains engaging profiles and vignettes of the people and places that give the Shore its special character and charm. A throwback five-and-dime store on Long Beach Island. Banner pilots. Birders. Baby parades. And more. You want lists and rankings? The book is full of them—twenty best Shore towns, twenty-one secret spots down the Shore, twenty essential Jersey Shore experiences, fifty things we bet you didn’t know about the Shore, and so on. The book is the next best thing to being at the Shore; actually, it may be better than being there (think of those epic traffic jams on the Parkway, and all the money you’ll save on tolls, beach fees, and bad boardwalk pizza).

Download or read book A History of the Indian Villages and Place Names in Pennsylvania written by George P. Donehoo and published by Pickle Partners Publishing. This book was released on 2019-01-13 with total page 629 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: No state in the entire Nation is richer in Indian names, or in fact, in Indian history than Pennsylvania. These Indian names of Pennsylvania are full of music, but, of far greater importance, they are full of history. A History of the Indian Villages and Place Names in Pennsylvania, which was first published in 1928, is the only major book of the 20th century that traces Pennsylvania’s Indian place and names for their correct form, origin and history. Its pages are filled with the most incredible collection of information ever assembled on the Indian villages of Pennsylvania and their Indian place names and is an Indian history scholar’s delight. In preparing his book, Dr. Donehoo researched every available source of printed material about Indian place names in Pennsylvania. He also walked nearly every Indian trail, from the Delaware to the Ohio, using early trader’s journals and maps as his guide, to seek out the places the Indians lived. Each Indian name comes complete with historical notes by the author. The book includes a list of all the sources used to authenticate each Indian place name. An excellent bibliography follows at the conclusion of the work along with appendixes listing: the Indian villages of New York destroyed by General Sullivan’s army in 1779, prehistoric works in Pennsylvania by county, and an alphabetical listing of all Indian named places in each county.

Download or read book Jersey Shore written by Welshans, Wayne O. and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2006-09-27 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jersey Shore, a small town with a seemingly misplaced name, was on the edge of the western frontier during Revolutionary War days, and those who settled in this area prior to 1784 found themselves outside the jurisdiction of both Great Britain and the commonwealth. Out of this was produced a Fair Play society, the Pine Creek Declaration of Independence, and something known as the Big Runaway. By 1800, a little village began to form along the banks of the west branch of the Susquehanna River. Over time, the West Branch Canal, lumbering, and a very large New York Central Railroad shop brought growth and prosperity to the area. Jersey Shore presents a visual story of the area through pictures taken by local photographers, including Joseph Mick, William H. Garman, and Jonathan Potter, dating from Civil War days to around 1930.

Download or read book Prohibition on the North Jersey Shore written by Matthew R. Linderoth and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2010-12-10 with total page 151 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many of the North Jersey Shore towns we know today began as quiet retreats for pious New Yorkers wishing to escape the vice and crime of the city. Towns such as Long Branch, Ocean Grove, Red Bank, and Atlantic Highlands all got their start like this, but with the passage of Prohibition in 1919, the region became a haven for criminals who began smuggling liquor through the serene seaside. Speakeasies sprang up on virtually every corner, as gangsters like Vito Genovese, Charles "Lucky" Luciano, and Meyer Lansky ruled this brutal underworld, while civilians were caught in the crossfire of gun battles between rival syndicates. Discover the true drama that captured the Jersey Shore during Prohibition.
