Author and photographer Kevin Woyce takes you on a guided tour of Jersey shore history--from the distant past of pirates and shipwrecks, through the Golden Years of your favorite summer resorts, the Roaring 20s, the Space Age 50s, and right up to today. Find our how some of our shore towns got their unusual names; why there is an elephant-shaped building in Margate; who the guy with the grin was in Asbury Park; and much more! Illustrated throughout with original black and white photographs of Jersey shore lighthouses, boardwalks, and historic landmarks--including a special Photo Essay section on Jersey Shore Architecture. Kevin Woyce lives in Lyndhurst, NJ; a lifelong resident of the Garden State, he has been taking photographs at the shore for more than a dozen years.
