- Summary
- "The Jersey shore is many things to many people. It is 127 miles of sand and surf, a sanctuary of untamed marshlands and endless dunes, a home to kitschy boardwalks, quirky shops, pulsing casinos, and countless examples of offbeat culture. But, above all, it is a powerful repository of nostalgia. The local historical societies are filled with photographs and memoirs describing what has been lost, landmarks razed, houses demolished, and beaches terminally eroded." "In this collection of personal accounts, historical anecdotes, and photographs, Caroline Seebohom and Peter C. Cook cast a fresh eye on the array of cottages, bungalows, and mansions that generation after generation have chosen as their summer homes. They explore the nineteenth-century palaces of Spring Lake and Bay Head, the private mansions of Deal and Allenhurst, and the surprises of Cape May Point. Through the cooperation of local residents, they also provide a rare look behind the walls and gates into properties that have never before been opened up to outsiders."--BOOK JACKET.
