Summary:

"Bypassed by the transportation and industrial revolutions, the places surveyed by Warren Boeschenstein have remained unspoiled by the usually unstoppable forces of the modern world. These towns have since become cherished landmarks because of their remarkable natural settings and cultural legacies. Dotting the coast from Maine to Florida, they exemplify historic America at its best."--BOOK JACKET. "In Historic American Towns along the Atlantic Coast, Boeschenstein celebrates the scale and style of these places - more than 140 towns in all."--Jacket.
