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.
