Softcover. Condizione: Good. A history of Atlantic City during its heyday as the nation's center of popular entertainment, Chance of a Lifetime focuses on the first half of the 20th Century. This was the city's zenith, when celebrities and tourists flocked to ''America's Playground'' -- and political corruption, illegal gambling, bootlegging, and prostitution were all sanctioned as part of the Atlantic City experience. Beginning with the early attractions of the anything-goes resort, the author explores the rise to power of notorious political boss Enoch ''Nucky'' Johnson. This sets the scene for the rise of entrepreneurial Paul ''Skinny'' D'Amato and his famed 500 Club -- a venue that encapsulated everything good, bad, and fun about the legendary resort. As D'Amato is quoted in the book, ''Atlantic City was Las Vegas. This town was wide open.'' We are given an intimate, nostalgic tour of the city's storied history by insider Grace Anselmo D'Amato, whose husband managed the 500 Club for his brother Skinny. The book includes a foreword by renowned Atlantic City historian Vicki Gold Levi. Chance of a Lifetime is extensively illustrated with 178 images of celebrity, 500 Club, and historic Atlantic City photographs, in three lengthy gallery sections -- with additional images throughout the text.

Hardcover. Condizione: Good. Without New Jersey's Watchung Mountains and the towns around Morristown, would the American Revolution have succeeded? Would George Washington's army have survived? New Jersey's esteemed historian John T. Cunningham explores the harsh circumstances and geography of this region during the War of Independence. It is an account of American history that has been overlooked and overshadowed until now. But this ''geological fortress'' -- Washington and the Continental Army's winter quarters for four years -- may well be the place where America survived. In The Uncertain Revolution, John T. Cunningham tells the story of those forgotten winters in Middlebrook and Morristown and of their critical importance to the course of the war. Geographically, the mountains made an excellent defensive position, hiding from the British the disarray of the American army and the horrific conditions. Reports of the strength and numbers of American troops fluctuated wildly as Washington and his officers tried to stave off desertion and mutiny. Washington's army survived a small pox epidemic at Morristown, a season of short supplies at Middlebrook, the most brutal winter of the war in 1779-80, and the war's most dire mutiny on New Year's Day 1781. There's drama -- including the cat-and-mouse game played with the unpredictable British general, George Clinton, and treachery -- with one of his favorite officers, Benedict Arnold. There's also the fierce performance of the New Jersey militia in defense of their homes and farms. In The Uncertain Revolution John T. Cunningham makes the case for the importance of Morristown and the mountains to an understanding of the war itself. And just as the history of those harsh winters has long been neglected, so were the physical places over time. The soldiers huts in the mountains at Jockey Hollow disintegrated, and the houses that had served as Washington's headquarters were almost lost to neglect and development. The author's account of their reclamation and eventual incorporation into the America's first National Historical Park in 1933 is a fitting conclusion to his story of Washington in the Watchungs.

Libro
Hardcover. Condizione: Good. Expanded, with an artistic color cover, improved reproductions and newly discovered historic photos, this 30th Anniversary Edition is a fitting tribute to the legacy of John Bailey Lloyd.In its pages you will travel back to Edwardian Beach Haven, discover the origins of Barnegat Lighthouse, and know the fortitude of the men of the U.S. Lifesaving Service. You'll experience nature's fury -- the hurricane of '44 and the March northeaster of '62 -- and learn how the Island's shifting southern end has changed -- with a ''new inlet,'' ''old inlet,'' and a disappeared Tucker's Island.You'll know how and where bootleggers smuggled alcohol ashore during Prohibition, and delight in the Island's favorite watering holes ''When Beer Was Ten Cents A Glass.'' You'll learn about an eccentric Barnegat Light resident and the U.S. Supreme Court.''In the Days of the Dune Hoppers,'' during World War II, a largely forgotten period on the Island, hotels boarded soldiers, the military patrolled beaches on horseback, and oceanside blackouts were mandatory. ''Ducks, Guns, and Money on Old Barnegat Bay'' explores the era of adventurous aristocratic men drawn to this shore.You'll learn about town names (Beach Arlington, Long Beach City, Peahala, ''Harvey Cedars or Harvest Cedars?''), summers of baseball and the famous Roger ''Doc'' Cramer. The Lucy Evelyn, a schooner that was as much an attraction as Barnegat Lighthouse, is fondly remembered.In this loving history: Travel the first automobile highways to the Shore or take the train to one of the grand old hotels. You'll even learn the origin of that enduring phrase, ''Six Miles At Sea.''The late John Bailey Lloyd's lyrical and pioneering writing about Long Beach Island has been the inspiration for many books about Jersey Shore history. Here is the source -- providing a true sense of place. His three elegant companion books explore much of the history of the Shore with a focus on LBI. The Island of today is strikingly different from that of a century ago but here are images of an innocent and wilder past that cement our present-day bond with this place.Modern-day Shore lovers will find their long-ago counterparts here. These books give us an opportunity to rediscover a unique place at the sea's edge -- a beautiful, sometimes dangerous, more personal LBI and the people who came to know and love it.

Hardcover. Condizione: Good. This revised second printing of the third of John Bailey Lloyds classic LBI pictorial histories reveals much more about Island architecture, names, shipwrecks, and storms, as well as stories of the pines and the mainland. In delightful writing that captures the adventurous spirit of an earlier age, Long Beach Island's beloved author shares with us true stories of Life-Saving Service crews, shipwrecks, rum-runners, wartime summers and dirigibles, innocent days and simpler times. Almost 200 historic photographs and illustrations are brought to life by the authors words. Short profiles about Long Beach Islanders include summer residents - Jay Cooke, the banker who financed the Civil War; Fredrick P. Small, president of American Express, and his Harvey Cedars ocean-to-bay estate. Other colorful local characters are remembered too - among them ''Hammy'' the game warden, ''Citizen'' Bill Kane and the tale of the Mason-Dixon Line, and Warren Webster, pilot of the ill-fated Miss Beach Haven autogiro. Nearly forgotten details about Beach Havens historic district - including the architecturally striking Onion Domes and the Seven Sisters cottages - are featured, along with fascinating stories about the town's first merchants when the center of Beach Haven was closer to the ocean. From Tucker's Island and Holgate to Barnegat Light, we explore the fascinating, romantic past of Long Beach Island and the neighboring mainland. This book includes selected essays and articles from other writers of the period along with more of John Bailey Lloyd's favorite stories of the region's history.
