New settlements appeared in the pine wilderness of the mainland and on the uninhabited Atlantic Ocean barrier islands. These changes caused social and political conflicts, and new development assaulted the fragile seashore environment. Fishing and shipbuilding were key industries throughout the early history of Cape May County. In addition, familiar industries such as cranberry harvesting and nearly forgotten endeavors such as goldbeating, sugar refining, and cedar shingle mining played vital roles in the county's economic development. Dorwart also traces the origins of the seashore resort industry through the history of the city of Cape May, with its unique architectural styles and heritage, as well as the founding of Wildwood, Ocean City, and the newer resort towns.
Excerpt from Mayflower Pilgrim Descendants in Cape May County, New Jersey: Memorial of the Three Hundredth Anniversary of the Landing of the Pilgrims at Plymouth, 1620 1920 These Cape May County descendants of the Mayflower band have been, until Dr. Howe arrived, a "lost tribe," many of them uninformed of their illustrious origin, others informed but indifferent to the interest of the subject. In common with the people in many other sections, the people of our County have never been sufficiently interested in perpetuating the record of the doings of their period, and much of local history that would be valuable to present and future generations has been lost; for there have been stirring events and great deeds done in our section as in others and by our citizens in all of the great war crises which have visited the colonies and the nation since the first settlements. It is fortunate for history, and equally fortunate for our "old families" that Dr. Howe has come among us and applied his enthusiasm, his ripe knowledge and trained skill to the unravelling of the tangled skein of descents, and establishing for all time the ancestry of the numerous families, the records of which he has investigated. It has taken him many months and upon many journeys, for wherever there have been records apt to shed light upon his subject, there he has gone, and indefatigably probed, questioned and examined. This book is the result of these arduous labors and is a lasting monument to his sincerity and interest in a subject of greatest importance. It is also a permanent and absolutely reliable record of incalculable value to this and all succeeding generations of the families discussed and a contribution to the general history of the nation, whose worth is beyond computation. Dr. Howe, author of this volume, is the son of the Rev. Elbridge Gerry Howe, who was the former pastor of one of the first off-shoots of the Pilgrim Church, at Plymouth. His mother, Mary Soule Sturtevant, was descendant of fourteen of the Mayflower passengers, including Captain Myles Standish, whose son, Alexander, married Sarah, daughter of John Alden and Priscilla Mullins, and had Sarah Standish, who married Benjamin Soule, through which marriage the name Soule has been continued in Dr. Howe's family.
