South Jersey Towns: History and Legends

History

Rutgers University Press

The New Jersey Pine Barrens is a legendary place with a fascinating history, rich in mystery, adventure, and romance. Across its great green canvas flash pirates and plunder, patriots and villains, boom towns and ghost towns, brawling millworkers and firebreathing preachers, witches, wizards and, of course, the Jersey Devil. 
Today, all that remains of the colonial settlements and once-thriving, boisterous mill towns are occasional bits of crumbling rubble in the deep woods-and a wealth of stories about the past that have been handed down from one Pine Barrens family to the next. 
This book is a delightful grab bag collection of just such lore, accumulated by the author in the course of a lifetime's fascination with the Pine Barrens. A number of these yarns are pretty good local history, some are of the strictly-for-fun variety, and some are read late at night with the lights turned down low, and the doors and windows securely bolted!
