Beschreibung

The Other Jersey Shore takes readers on a personal tour of the New Jersey portion of the Delaware River and its surroundings, from the archeological remnants of the former King of Spain’s mansion to waterfalls where bears and foxes frolic. Combining history and nature writing, it shares engrossing stories and surprising facts about a river that is both the backbone and lifeblood of the Garden State.
