Shore Chronicles: Diaries and Travelers' Tales from the Jersey Shore 1764-1955

by Various, Margaret Thomas Buchholz (Editor)

Shore Chronicles, this remarkable collection of fifty travelers' accounts from 1764 to 1955, begins with adventurous journeys by stagecoach - when the coast was still a wild frontier - and concludes with the opening of the Garden State Parkway. In the two centuries between, the pleasures and sights of the Shore are described by such well-known writers as John J. Audubon, Walt Whitman, Robert Louis Stevenson, Stephen Crane and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. But we also read fascinating stories from the private letters, journals, and diaries of others visiting the Shore - ordinary people with extraordinary impressions of this much-loved coast. Shore Chronicles reveals an exceptional 127-mile-long coastline that has seen much change, yet holds an appeal as powerful as ever.

About the author

Various is the correct author for any book with multiple unknown authors, and is acceptable for books with multiple known authors, especially if not all are known or the list is very long (over 50).

If an editor is known, however, Various is not necessary. List the name of the editor as the primary author (with role "editor"). Contributing authors' names follow it.

Note: WorldCat is an excellent resource for finding author information and contents of anthologies.
