Down Barnegat Bay, A Nor'easter Midnight Reader

'Down Barnegat Bay, A Nor'easter Midnight Reader '- Robert Jahn, author signed, 1980, illustrated New Jersey Shore NJ maritime folk history, scarce and unusual.

From Amazon reviews:

'A favorite chronicle of the maritime history and folklore of the Jersey Shore. The historical narratives catapult the reader into an era when the now densely populated areas along the Barnegat Bay were filled with sailors, fishermen, Indians and farmers.

Tales of shipwrecks, pirates and the Lenni-Lenapi Indians along the Metedeconk River are exciting to read and add immensely to the feeling of being "transported in time" as do the many illustrations that look as if they were taken from a scrapbook in your great grandparent's
attic (some of them may have been!). Down Barnegat Bay gives the reader more than an appreciation for an area so rich in maritime history and folklore..it TAKES them there."'

Reads like narrative history, folklore at its best!
