Led by pitcher Madison Bumgarner; the Giants have come to dominate the baseball scene.

This is a story about a shy philanthropist who made his fortune by creating the Bamberger Department Store. How do you write a story about a great man who didn’t like the limelight; didn’t write books or keep a diary; and often preferred to be silent about his generosity? Linda Forgosh delved into hard to find resources to provide us with a fascinating and fact based story of a man who left a wonderful legacy but is mostly unknown today. Do you know where the Macy’s parade in NYC first began or who started it? What was the connection between Louis Bamberger and Albert Einstein? How did the Institute for Advance Study in Princeton begin? As many other authors; Forgosh investigated published sources like books and newspapers. She went a step beyond in her research -- she interviewed family members and past employees and their families; going into family archives and documents for little known facts. She searched into archives for unpublished documents including archives of the Institute for Advance Study; the Library of Congress; the Jewish Historical Society of New Jersey and the New Jersey Historical Society. The result is a fun; fact based book that creates a picture of the man and his times; a book I thoroughly enjoyed reading.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.

AnagnostThis is a very nicely done book and would be a fine read for someone interested in this aspect of American social history. The chronicle of the Bamberger story to envision and bring forth the department store and a center for city life and the giving back to community is a wonderful description of American growth. Ms.Forgosh's details about the family background; Newark's urban growth; and the generous charitable giving; especially funding the Institute for Advanced Study; are interesting and well-presented. She is a gifted writer who knows the subject well.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. A Good and Decent ManBy Jo-Ann WolskyA good story about a humble man. Factual and and interesting story about the man behind Bamberger's. You will enjoy this story even if you're not from New Jersey.
