Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Atlantic City and County, New Jersey, Biographically Illustrated: A Short Biography, Illustrated by Portraits, of Prominent Residents of Atlantic County and the Famous Summer and Winter Resort, Celebrated Throughout America Atlantic City
This seaside city is, without doubt, the most famous resort in the fair state of New Jersey, and has established itself upon a permanent basis entirely different from other like resorts; in fact the historian must approach conditions here without the ad vantage or use of former time-honored methods, for this is a city created by unusual opportunities, readily seized upon and wrought out by brainy men, who have builded better than they knew, and today, from all over the country, deep in the hearts of its countless sojourners, there exists a warm and tender regard for the City by the Sea. Romance and reality have both been im portant factors in this respect, as the child, maiden, lover, invalid, physician, and many a business man will testify in their unstinted praise for the special relief they represent.
A careful study has been given to the medical, political, judicial, financial, educational, religious and social matters, principally compiled from articles furnished by eminent local authorities.
