Crosby; Stills; Nash Young have been hailed as "The American Beatles" and "Folk-Rocks Mount Rushmore." They launched a trail-blazing acoustic-electric sound in 1969 and have been captivating listeners with their music ever since. Coming together as refugees from three seminal 60s bands-the Byrds; Buffalo Springfield and the Hollies-the combined talents of David Crosby; Stephen Stills; Graham Nash and Neil Young have influenced several generations of musicians while proving to have enduring appeal to fans of all ages. As rock and rolls first "supergroup;" CSNY generated an enormous amount of media scrutiny-from their galvanizing appearance at Woodstock to multi-platinum; chart-topping albums such as Deja Vu; from David Crosbys miraculous recovery from life-threatening addictions to the bands resurgence for enormously successful concert tours. Now; noted CSNY historian Dave Zimmer distills the best of the journalism on these four remarkable artists; ranging from group portraits to individual profiles to in-depth interviews to incisive commentary by such writers as Cameron Crowe; Ben Fong-Torres and David Crosby himself. 4 Way Street: The Crosby; Stills; Nash Young Reader is an open window into one of the most popular groups of all time; offering a fascinating look at their highly charged musical relationships and how they have changed over the decades; along the way revealing a colorful chronicle of the music of an era that continues to echo into the new millennium.

A Magnificent Historic Account of South JerseyBy Kindle CustomerThis little book is packed solid with surprising and stunning facts about the White Horse Pike (US Route 30) and the surrounding area where the pike runs. I grew up in the town where Kirkwood Lake is that Whitman writes of. But I had no idea of the narrow-gauge railroad running through the area; the towns of Lawnside and Berlin had previous names of Lawnton and Long-A-Coming; respectively. Also; the trolley cars that ran to Magnolia which were ones my grandfather rode to see his sweetie who eventually became his wife. The photos and descriptions of the construction of the then-called Delaware River Briidge; now known as the Benjamin Franklin Bridge; are spectacular! How they did it--raising the towers; stringing the cables; laying the roadbed and train tracks for the subway lines running from Philadelphia to Camden. The bridge is a genuine marvel of civil engineering. The book is a marvel of South Jersey history. Buy it. Buy copies for your friends. Get in the know. Be the authority. Great pics of train stations and other commercial establishments and houses in Haddon Heights; Magnolia; Berlin; Hammonton; and Egg Harbor. Well worth the price. The only downside is the remark that President Hoover came to the bridges opening to vehicular traffic in 1926. Calvin Coolidge was the president then. Maybe Cooldge came up from DC. Still a great book.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.

The White Horse PikeBy History BuffThis is a great look at historical photos along US Route 30 in southern New Jersey; and the captions do much more than just identify the images. I live in south Jersey and I never knew there was so much history right in my backyard. The photos of the Ben Franklin Bridge are fascinating; and who knew there was a munitions factory just outside of Hammonton? This is a great book for history lovers.
