Description: 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.
Review Quotes: "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."
