Ghosts of the Garden State
by Lynda Lee MacKen
 

The Great Bridge: The Epic Story of the Building of the Brooklyn Bridge by David McCullough In the 19th century, the Brooklyn Bridge was viewed as the greatest engineering feat of mankind. The Roeblings--father and son--toiled for decades, fighting competitors, corrupt politicians, and the laws of nature to fabricate a bridge which, after 100 years, still provides one of the major avenues of access to one of the world's busiest cities--as compared to many bridges built at the same time which collapsed within decades or even years. It is refreshing to read such a magnificent story of real architecture and engineering in an era where these words refer to tiny bits and bytes that inspire awe only in their abstract consequences, and not in their tangible physical magnificence.

Marching Home: To War and Back with the Men of One American Town
by Kevin Coyne
Book Description: They left Freehold, New Jersey, for service in World War II as six young men-to the army, the navy, and the air corps, to the Pacific, and to Europe-and they returned home alive. But on their return, they faced a new mission as America took a new shape and their community faced new pressures-farms and factories thriving, then fading; creeping suburbs and withering Main Streets; civil rights struggles and race riots. 

Offering a gripping look at life in wartime, Marching Home follows each of six men overseas into battles where the enemy was clear and then back home where the lines of combat were more uncertain: the black soldier who endured the segregated army only to face race riots back home and the sailor who watched a kamikaze hurtle toward his ship and then tried to keep peace at home as a police officer. 

With the stories of these men, Kevin Coyne presents Freehold, with its mixture of village intimacy and city diversity, as a microcosm of the whole sweep of twentieth-century American history. It is a reminder of what America has faced and overcome and will continue to face as the nation marches forward.

Patriots, Pirates, and Pineys: Sixty Who Shaped New Jersey
by Robert A. Peterson
Book Description: Southern New Jersey is a region full of rich heritage and yet it is one of the best kept historical secrets of our nation. Many famous people have lived in Southern New Jersey and numerous world renowned businesses were started in this area as well. Patriots, Pirates, and Pineys was written to address the ignorance of the heritage surrounding the Shore and Pine Barrens regions of New Jersey. 

This collection of biographies gives the reader a sense of history about the area through the stories of the people who resided here and a look into their lives. Tales of such famous figures as John Wanamaker, Henry Rowen, and Sara Spenser Washington are all included as well as some lesser known but equally heroic people. Some of the subjects would be considered patriots, some pirates, and some Pineys but they all would be considered people who helped make America what it is today.

Stafford Chronicles: A History of Manahawkin, New Jersey
by Lillias F. Brescia (Editor)
Book Description: The stories are based in southern Ocean County, NJ, but they range to high points of New Jersey Shore area history from the 1600s to the present. With histories of lives, families, and landmarks, Stafford Chronicles vividly reconstructs different ways of life in a town that has seen many changes. The profiles of long-term families capture indelibly such happenings as the feel of salt spray that braced men working in the now-defunct pound fishing boat industry on their way through the breakers over on the beach. Or how women made their mark in the local workplace, such as at New Jersey Bell Telephone in the 1940s.
