Book Synopsis Hidden History of South Jersey by : Gordon Bond
Download or read book Hidden History of South Jersey written by Gordon Bond and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2013-07-09 with total page 167 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: South Jersey is perhaps best known for its beachside boardwalks, glitzy Atlantic City hotels and blueberry farms, but behind these iconic symbols are the overlooked tales that are unique to New Jersey. While much of Harriet Tubman's life is well known, her time in Cape May is usually overlooked by biographers. Few know that the classic American drive-in movie theaters were born in South Jersey. Even the famous Wildwood, with its distinctive Doo-Wop architecture, hides forgotten stories: at the height of its popularity, this shore town was hosting some of the country's first rock-and-roll acts. Often overshadowed by its more urban northern counterpart, South Jersey nonetheless has a hidden past. In this collection, author Gordon Bond uncovers the most intriguing of these tales.

Book Synopsis Forgotten Towns of Southern New Jersey by : Henry Charlton Beck
Download or read book Forgotten Towns of Southern New Jersey written by Henry Charlton Beck and published by Rutgers University Press. This book was released on 1983 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Composed, for the most part, from sketches that were published in the Courier-Post newspapers of Camden, New Jersey, Beck provides us with a series of stories of towns too tiny or uncertain for today's maps. Together, these sketches help to create a more complete picture of the history of New Jersey. A connecting skein of untold or little known wartime history--the Revolution, the War of 1812, and the conflict of North against South--runs through most of the sketches. Many of the sketches concern the pine towns and their people, "the pineys" who lived in the Jersey pine barrens.
Book Synopsis South Jersey's Route 47 Stories by : Alex Balabkins
Download or read book South Jersey's Route 47 Stories written by Alex Balabkins and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2018-08-31 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a collection of short stories describing the author's life on a farm in the 1950s, before industrial pollution, acid rain and heavy vehicular traffic. Wildlife, editable mushrooms and wildflowers thrived. A love of family, nature and the land is readily evident. He was part of a large family that numbered from 7 to 11 at any time. His parents taught him the values of right and wrong while his grandparents taught him the strict customs of their church. They thrived on homemade products such as fresh milk, butter, eggs, hams and bacon. We see the world through his eyes while reading about his adventures and explorations. "My stories reflect my experiences, activities, written in a raw emotional detailed manner." A gripping story about ocean riptides and a life and death event in "Powerboat Racing," will keep you on the edge until the end. The author still lives on the original 10-acre farm, rises early to write his stories and enjoy another sunrise.

Book Synopsis Parallel Communities by : Dennis C. Rizzo
Download or read book Parallel Communities written by Dennis C. Rizzo and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2008-10-23 with total page 197 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The true story of the small African American communities that formed in southern New Jersey during the era of slavery—includes photos. For slaves escaping on the Underground Railroad, names like Springtown and Snow Hill promised sanctuary and salvation. Under the pressures of racial prejudice, many free blacks, runaway slaves, and even Native Americans formed island communities on the periphery of South Jersey towns. While Lawnside and others continue to thrive today, others, like Marshalltown and Timbuctoo, now exist only in memory. In this discussion of these primarily African American communities, Dennis Rizzo validates their role in the preservation of tradition, definition of extended family, and creation of a social bond between diverse peoples; together they formed parallel communities based on, but independent of, the larger towns and villages familiar to residents of the Garden State.
