Scientists claimed a shark could not be responsible, but more deadly attacks soon followed along the Jersey Shore and up the freshwater Matawan Creek, setting off a nationwide panic that led the White House to declare a “War on Sharks.” In this illustrated book, which features 16 pages of black-and-white photographs, readers will learn about the likely culprit (or culprits) in the attacks—the great white shark and the bull shark—and how the bloody summer of 1916 would change how people viewed sharks forever.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: USItem Height: 194mmItem Length: 135mmItem Width: 7mmItem Weight: 119gAuthor: Nico MedinaIllustrator: Tim FoleyContributor: Tim Foley (Illustrated by)Genre: Children's ReferenceBook Series: What Was?Release Year: 2024 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
