The Shore, from Sandy Hook to Cape May, became a national resort in the late 1800s and contributes enormously to New Jersey's economy today. The devastation of Hurricane Sandy in 2012 underscored the area's central place in the state's identity and the rebuilding efforts after the storm restored its economic health. \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e  Divided into chronological and thematic sections, this book will attract general readers interested in the history of the Shore: how it appeared to early European explorers; how the earliest settlers came to the beaches for the whaling trade; the first attractions for tourists in the nineteenth century; and how the coming of railroads, and ultimately automobiles, transformed the Shore into a major vacation destination over a century later. Mazzagetti also explores how the impact of changing national mores on development, race relations, and the environment, impacted the Shore in recent decades and will into the future. Ultimately, this book is an enthusiastic and comprehensive portrait by a native son, whose passion for the region is shared by millions of beachgoers throughout the Northeast.   \u003cbr\u003e   \u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eMaps\u003cbr\u003e Photographs \u0026amp;\u003cbr\u003e Illustrations\u003cbr\u003e Introduction\u003cbr\u003e 1 \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003eThe Ever-Changing Shore\u003cbr\u003e 2 \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e1664-1774:  \u003cbr\u003eA Few Desolate Beaches\u003cbr\u003e Native Americans at the Shore\u003cbr\u003e The English Replace the Dutch\u003cbr\u003e Whaling\u003cbr\u003e Pirates\u003cbr\u003e Smugglers, Privateers, and the United States Navy\u003cbr\u003e 3  \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e1765-1850:  \u003cbr\u003eThe Rise of Resorts\u003cbr\u003e Sandy Hook, \"Squan,\" Deal, and Toms River\u003cbr\u003e \"Sea Bathing\" at the Jersey Shore\u003cbr\u003e Tucker's Island and Long Beach\u003cbr\u003e Cape May\u003cbr\u003e Long Branch\u003cbr\u003e 4 \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e1850-1900:  \u003cbr\u003eRailroads, Atlantic City, and Long Branch\u003cbr\u003e The Coming of Railroads and the Concept of \"Vacation\"\u003cbr\u003e Atlantic City\u003cbr\u003e Long Branch as the Nation's Premier Resort\u003cbr\u003e Cape May, Tucker's Island, and Beach Haven\u003cbr\u003e 5 \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003eReligion at the Jersey Shore\u003cbr\u003e Traveling Preachers and Camp Meetings\u003cbr\u003e Ocean Grove\u003cbr\u003e Asbury Park\u003cbr\u003e Ocean City\u003cbr\u003e \"Sea Grove,\" Dry Towns, Retreats, and Ethnics\u003cbr\u003e 6 \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003eThe Rise of Resorts, Monmouth County\u003cbr\u003e Railroads and New Resorts\u003cbr\u003e Monmouth County \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 7 \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003eShipwrecks, Life-Saving, and Lighthouses\u003cbr\u003e Early Wrecks\u003cbr\u003e A Mysterious Death Leads to an Iconic Grounding\u003cbr\u003e Collisions on a Vast Sea\u003cbr\u003e Shipwrecks as Fact and Fiction\u003cbr\u003e US Life-Saving Service\u003cbr\u003e Lighthouses\u003cbr\u003e 8 \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003eThe Rise of Resorts, Ocean County\u003cbr\u003e Point Pleasant to Island Beach State Park \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Long Beach Island\u003cbr\u003e 9 \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003eFires, Storms, and War\u003cbr\u003e Fires\u003cbr\u003e Hurricanes, Tropical Storms, and Nor'easters \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e World War \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 10  \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003eThe Rise of Resorts, Atlantic County\u003cbr\u003e Atlantic County\u003cbr\u003e Atlantic City, Politics, and Prohibition\u003cbr\u003e 11 \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003eFish, Fish, and Boats\u003cbr\u003e Commercial Fishing and New Jersey's Major Ports\u003cbr\u003e The Lady Mary and the Dangers of Commercial Fishing\u003cbr\u003e Sport Fishing, Gunning, and Recreational Boating\u003cbr\u003e The Intracoastal Waterway\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e\"Jaws\"\u003cbr\u003e 12 \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003eThe Rise of Resorts, Cape May County and the Lore of the Shore\u003cbr\u003e The Personalities of Jersey Shore Communities\u003cbr\u003e The Look, Lure, and Lore of the Shore\u003cbr\u003e Cape May County \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 13 \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003eThe 20th Century: Transformation \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Transportation Again Transforms the Shore\u003cbr\u003e Economic Development and the Great Depression\u003cbr\u003e The Garden State Parkway \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Building Booms \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Gambling at the Jersey Shore\u003cbr\u003e Race Relations\u003cbr\u003e 14 \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003eThe 21st Century Shore\u003cbr\u003e The \"Public Trust\" Doctrine and Eminent Domain\u003cbr\u003e State Action, Federal Funding, and University Support\u003cbr\u003e Revival: Cape May, Long Branch, Asbury Park, and Atlantic City\u003cbr\u003e Superstorm Sandy\u003cbr\u003e The Future of the Jersey Shore\u003cbr\u003e Acknowledgments\u003cbr\u003e Notes\u003cbr\u003e Index\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Rutgers University Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52563724697880,"sku":"9780813593746","price":28.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/the-jersey-shore-the-past-present-38-future-of-a-national-treasure-hardback-9780813593746","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
