Written in a passionate and readable style, Gateway To America chronicles the historic New York/New Jersey triangle that was the window for America's immigration wave in the 19th and 20th centuries that also inspired some of our countries most popular tourism sites. Thus, unlike other guide books that cover Gateway landmarks, this book is the first comprehensive one to cover all the sites from a historical point of view, including the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island, Liberty State Park, Battery Park, World Trade Center, South Street Seaport and Governor's Island that make up the entire Gateway experience. Included is all the particular tourist information that one would want to know about each site. This book is based on the 1995 PBS documentary of the same name.

The Hacky is a collection of eight true short stories about two brothers growing up in Hackensack, New Jersey, along the Hackensack River. These stories, set in 1949, are an exciting and humorous adventure comparable to Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn. Each story presents the lives of Eddie and Gordy (the author) at the ages of eleven and twelve. They ride down the river in an old, rusty cement tub, walk on the rooftops of stores on Main Street, and climb up a scary tower at the Fox Theater movie house. Their surprise gift to a lonely railroad gatekeeper on the night before Christmas is a touching story of kindness of two young boys. They even befriend the hobos and scruffy drifters at the Susquehanna railroad yard, learning all about their colorful travels across country on the rails by hiding in boxcars. “Riding the Rails” is a story about the freedoms in America available for those who are down and out. The Bishop brothers, on the other hand, grew up in an affluent home. Their father was a real estate broker. Their mother raised three children at home. Ahhhh…the good ole days!
