Omschrijving
“The Other Jersey Shore is Michael Rockland’s poetic love letter to the Delaware River. As he has done in previous books on the New Jersey Turnpike and the George Washington Bridge, Rockland sheds ample light on an essential, if often overlooked, element of life in the Garden State. Exhaustively researched and endearingly written, The Other Jersey Shore will remind even New Jersey natives that the Delaware and its New Jersey shore should be held in the same high esteem as the state’s beloved Atlantic coastline.”

“Michael Aaron Rockland has produced a book full of dramatic stories featuring a river of scenic beauty, with history and vibrant communities on its New Jersey banks. He has shown us a fascinating alternative to what we normally call 'The Jersey Shore'— endless pleasures and adventures that presently too few enjoy.”
“Michael Aaron Rockland has brought to life the Delaware River as he discusses its bridges, towns, and islands. We so enjoyed the descriptions of George Washington’s four crossings (not one) and of the life of Joseph Bonaparte, former King of Spain and Napoleon’s brother, during the many years he lived on a bluff overlooking the Delaware. We also enjoyed his discussions of New Jersey’s two canals and their relationship to the river, the wonders of their civil engineering and bucolic beauty, not to mention the port towns that, to this day, mark their way.”
MICHAEL AARON ROCKLAND is professor emeritus of American Studies at Rutgers University. He has also lectured in twenty-four countries and served as a US cultural attaché in Argentina and Spain. He is the author of fifteen books of scholarship, memoir, and fiction, including The George Washington Bridge and Looking for America on the New Jersey Turnpike, both from Rutgers UP.
