| Publisher Description: Well-known for its hunting, fishing, and sea-faring ship captains, the town of Barnegat, New Jersey, was also a thriving center of industry and modern technology. Steam locomotives once raged through the pines, and over four thousand boats were built at the Perrine Boat Works. A downtown business district thrived, and cottage industries-- like glass blowing and silkworm cultivation--also left their marks. The history of the Barnegat area, which is chronicled vividly in this marvelous new photographic history by Kevin Hughes, is truly a varied and fascinating one. |
