Author John Sublett's nostalgic books touch the hearts of fellow Staten Islanders By Ann Marie Barron| For the Staten Island Advance on August 14, 2014 at 5:45 PM, updated August 14, 2014 at 6:03 PM STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- Searching deep into Staten Island's fascinating history has helped satisfy John Louis Sublett's overwhelming curiosity and even earned him a little money. But the South Beach mechanic-turned-author hadn't anticipated the much more valuable reward. 'People read these books to their elderly relatives and it brings them together,' the author said of his six books about Staten Island's past. 'One woman read the books to her dying mother -- every day until her mother passed away. Another woman showed the photographs to her husband who suffered from Alzheimer's disease. She showed him the pictures. And he remembered.' ' Those results were more than Sublett bargained for when he began this journey 10 years ago. It was then that he started a website dedicated to the Island's bygone era. The response was overwhelming, as Staten Islanders shared in great numbers. That led to an impressive collection of memorabilia including photographs, maps, newspaper accounts, personal accounts and tales of the Island's days hosting everything from Colonial meetings in Tottenville between John Adams and Benjamin Franklin, to an early 20th Century South Beach vacation destination. In his book, 'Staten Island Short Stories,' copies of newspaper clippings and advertisements from 1914 promise a respite from the frenzy of city life by visiting South Beach's bath houses and amusement pier. Another tells the tale of an elephant swimming from Coney Island to New Dorp in 1904. Police sought the owner and promised he could reclaim the animal by 'proving property and paying expenses of capture and board.' ' 'People told me I had so much stuff, I should write a book,' Sublett explains.
