Excerpt from Entertaining a Nation: The Career of Long Branch

Entertaining a Nation: The Career of Long Branch is the New Jersey Writers' Project's response to the highly interesting challenge of writing the history of a city which is both a resort and a resident community. As completed, it embraces the joint efforts of the Project and the citizens of Long Branch, who took a lively interest in its progress and contributed generously of their historical materials and personal reminiscences.

Representative of this spirit of cooperation was the advisory committee appointed by Mayor Alton V. Evans: William M. Smith, superintendent of schools, chairman; Mrs. Harry Heldt, Miss Eva Howard, Mrs. Harold C. Morford, A. Lawrence Plager, Miss Ethel Pultz and Francis Rosenfeld. They read the entire manuscript and offered many constructive suggestions. To them, and to many others, far too numerous to name individually, the Project expresses its gratitude.

The book was written by Reynolds A. Sweetland and Joseph Sugarman, Jr., supervising editor, from research material collected by Benjamin L. Haisser, Julius F. Heine, Virginia Hyndsman and Caroline Metsgar of the Monmouth and Ocean Counties unit of the Project. Unless otherwise credited, all photographs were taken by Samuel Epstein, assistant state supervisor, who also designed the book.
