Folklore of the New Jersey Shore by Richard J. Kimmel,Karen E. Timper Pdf

Extending along the eastern coast of the state, the Jersey Shore is filled with folklore and strange happenings. Discover how historical events here may have given birth to legend. Read about German U-boats sneaking past Sandy Hook in shallow water defying commonsense. Drive down pineland roads leading to a tiny clearing where satanic rituals, occult meetings, and whisky stills could have flourished. Chase spirits and spies at the Seabrook-Wilson House at the Bayshore Waterfront Park or consider the famed Jersey Devil. Find out about Captain Kidd and Blackbeard who may still be looking for buried treasure. See the Devil's Tower in Cape May built so a man's wife could see the New York City skyline, but all she saw from it was her husband with another woman – if you circle the tower three times, you will see "something," too. So slip into your swimsuits, don your backpacks, climb into your automobile, or mount your bicycle, and visit the Folklore Of the New Jersey Shore!

North American Monsters by David J. Puglia Pdf

Mining a mountain of folklore publications, North American Monsters unearths decades of notable monster research. Nineteen folkloristic case studies from the last half-century examine legendary monsters in their native habitats, focusing on ostensibly living creatures bound to specific geographic locales. A diverse cast of scholars contemplate these alluring creatures, feared and beloved by the communities that host them—the Jersey Devil gliding over the Pine Barrens, Lieby wriggling through Lake Lieberman, Char-Man stalking the Ojai Valley, and many, many more. Embracing local stories, beliefs, and traditions while neither promoting nor debunking, North American Monsters aspires to revive scholarly interest in local legendary monsters and creatures and to encourage folkloristic monster legend sleuthing.

Phantom pirates, water monsters, and mythical snakes figure prominently in this collection of eerie tales from the Garden State. From this state’s bucolic, rolling farmland to its heavily populated shore come a variety of stories and legends, including a murderer whose body parts were used for medical (and other) experiments, the “White Pilgrim” who died of the disease he believed he could never get, and an Indian chief who used a swastika to protect a group of defenseless schoolgirls.

American Folk Art [2 volumes] by Kristin G. Congdon,Kara Kelley Hallmark Pdf

Folk art is as varied as it is indicative of person and place, informed by innovation and grounded in cultural context. The variety and versatility of 300 American folk artists is captured in this collection of informative and thoroughly engaging essays. American Folk Art: A Regional Reference offers a collection of fascinating essays on the life and work of 300 individual artists. Some of the men and women profiled in these two volumes are well known, while others are important practitioners who have yet to receive the notice they merit. Because many of the artists in both categories have a clear identity with their land and culture, the work is organized by geographical region and includes an essay on each region to help make connections visible. There is also an introductory essay on U.S. folk art as a whole. Those writing about folk art to date tend to view each artist as either traditional or innovative. One of the major contributions of this work is that it demonstrates that folk artists more often exhibit both traits; they are grounded in their cultural context and creative in the way they make work their own. Such insights expand the study of folk art even as they readjust readers' understanding of who folk artists are.

Haunted Jersey Shore by Charles A. Stansfield Jr. Pdf

Things that go bump in the night, disembodied voices, footsteps in an empty stairwell, an icy hand on your shoulder ... let your imagination run wild as you read about the Jersey Shore's most extraordinary apparitions, sinister spooks, and bizarre beasts. You may know of the New Jersey Devil or the pirate ghosts at Cape May Point, but perhaps you haven't heard about: Captain Kidd's treasure, which sits guarded on the beach by the ghost of Timothy Jones, who lays in wait to get revenge on the pirate who back stabbed him; the Ghost Towns of the Pinelands, which sit abandoned and haunted only miles from busy tourist destinations; and the Confederate ghosts of Finn's Point, who can be seen marching on foggy nights, bitter and vengeful.

The Lost Legends of New Jersey by Frederick Reiken Pdf

In Reiken’s “affectionate but tough-minded second novel, he captures the poetry of the New Jersey condition, circa 1980, with a rare precision” (The New York Times Book Review). A New York Times Notable Book of the Year A Los Angeles Times Best Book of the Year Romeo and Juliet in northern New Jersey? Yiddish constellations in Asbury Park? A garbage dump in the Meadowlands that’s filled with old musical instruments from a high school marching band? Love and sex, hockey and snorkeling, a family that is falling apart despite the best intentions—this is what Frederick Reiken has delivered in his brilliant second novel. But the real subject is true love, the one and only—known in Yiddish as b’shert. Anthony Rubin, the young protagonist, isn’t sure whether he’s found it with his neighbor, Juliette, daughter of a reputed Mafioso. His mother, who quits the family after her husband’s affair with a neighbor, doesn’t believe in true love at all. But his father does, and so does Anthony’s grandpa, who meets the love of his life at 78. Reiken is known for creating characters you feel you’ve known all your life, for mapping landscapes with profound intimacy and wonder. In The Lost Legends of New Jersey, he “reminds us that when good literature comes along, it feels, like true love itself, as if something legendary is occurring” (The Washington Post). “A beautifully told story of bad choices, good intentions, and the price of intimacy.” —Chicago Tribune “Reiken has created a rich, seductive mythology out of the ordinary places and people of the Garden State.” —Los Angeles Times
