| Publisher Description: Through the pages of this book, we encounter every aspect of Keyport s rich heritage: bustling street-scenes; magnificent old theaters; busy carriage factories; the oyster industry in its heyday; the airport where Charles Lindbergh once made a mysterious visit; Keyport s own National Guard unit; the Central Railroad of New Jersey at the peak of the age of steam; and the devastating fires that nearly destroyed Keyport in the nineteenth century." |
Contributor Bio(s): Regan, Timothy E.: - This fascinating new book, by local historian Timothy Regan, brings to life the story of Keyport from 1714 to 1950 through a compelling combination of words and images. Over 200 vivid photographs (many of which have never before been published) bring us face-to-face with people, places, and events from Keyport s past some familiar but many vanished and forgotten. |
