Its beauty is unsurpassed, and it has been aptly called "the crown jewel of the Jersey Shore." This limited-edition, oversized volume by Gordon Hesse, author of "All Summer Long - Tales and Lore of Lifeguarding on the Atlantic," tells the story of the park from the time before Europeans arrived to present day. The text includes information about the history of the park, the plant and animal life, the sports- men's shacks, the Governor's Mansion, the park today, and more. The history includes the time before recorded settlers, whaling, mysterious inlets, the Revolution and privateers, the U.S. Lifesaving Service, various owners and caretakers, historic storms, secret WWII experi- ments, the state's purchase, and the evolution of the park today. The book also features more than 100 exquisite photographs by some of the shore's finest photographers. The stunning photographs, many of which are presented two feet wide, cover every aspect of the park in all four seasons—from the dunes and maritime forests to the beaches, to the park's historic and current buildings, and to the sportsmen's shacks, past and present.
