In the mid-nineteenth century, a transportation industry developed in Reading that put the city on the map--and on the Monopoly board--forever. Founded in 1748 by William Penn's sons Thomas and Richard, Reading experienced rapid growth throughout the nineteenth century as the Reading Railroad (the Philadelphia and Reading Railroad) breathed steam into the city's industry. As the powerful railroads faded later, so did the city's economy. In recent years, Reading has become known as the birthplace and capital of factory outlet shopping and the hub of newborn manufacturing, financial, and agricultural enterprises.

Quite a place, this Cape May [New Jersey], America's first resort town, with its Victorian homes and hostelries of gaudy pastels and lacy woodwork, is a happy summer place where happy summer people frolic in the sand, shops and streets of this festive area. But when the pages of time are turned back, or when the summer sun sets, this is a cape of mystery, intrigue and rich folklore. This book does not pretend to masquerade as a history book. While carefully conceived and planned, and despite exhaustive research and intensive interviews, this is only an overview of Cape May's most noteworthy legends and shipwrecks. At times, there may seem to be more questions than answers for some of these tales. The complete stories are often so elusive and lost in time, and information so contradictory, that any ironclad conclusions are precluded...
