I assume it's still available at the Batsto Gift Shop or through the Batsto Citizens Committee. Their website was updated in 2013, so unless they are just being really mean and taunting us, the book seems to be available. Contact info on the webpage. Good luck. Here --->...

Hurry up and download a free copy of the Beers map before the Library of Congress "partners" with Ancestry.com, like the National Archives.

Be careful of getting a false sense of a book's worth by the pricing you see on Abe Books, Amazon etc. Princeton Antiques of Atlantic City is notorious for its insanely inflated used book prices, and their listings are everywhere. Hopeful con-artists on Amazon are selling Heart of the Pines for...

It's called "disinformation." Irrational arguments are planted in "news" articles and in social media commentary in order to muddle the legitimate debate. A particular specialty of the local rag Atlantic County calls a Newspaper.

Legislator? I think 'lobbyist' would be a more accurate description of this corporate shill. If it wasn't a pipeline, they'd be pushing mandatory healthcare for dogs or the benefits of poisoned...errr...fluoridated water.

Run, do not walk from Windows 8; it's just one big surveillance system, with more back doors than a Nucky Johnson speakeasy. Stick to 7 or XP.

@johnnyb Don't forget that Chris Christie is all for this proposed pipeline. This, the governor who shoves the Sustainable Development (Agenda 21) scam down our throats. Apparently, filling your kiddie pool or watering your lawn in the Summer is destroying the environment for future...

I suspect that thing hovering behind the Eagle has been eating my neighbour's chickens. Magnificent shot, I might add. How appropriate our National symbol has been flocking (sorry!) to our area, a patriot stronghold of the American Revolution. Except for Tuckerton of course.

Looks better than what I was driving in high school!...lol

Still a big grouch.

I have come to realise Heston is largely responsible for most of the bad history which has been passed around by Atlantic County historians and historical writers for the past 100 years, which has been insinuated into and thus perpetuated in later works, up to the present. I am constantly amased...

The history of Clarks Landing and the Clark family from the time of Thomas Sr and Hannah (his second wife) is well-established. My family has been intermarrying with the Clarks for generations, and my 3rd great aunt, Mary G*iber*son, is buried along side her patriot husband, Thomas (a grandson...

That's an impressive sentence. Please let me know when you put out a book. I'd like to reserve a copy....lol Regarding the Southern Bank of the Lower Mullica: sadly, so very little is known about what could be described as one of the majour crucibles within which the future state of New Jersey...

Thanks so much for the informative reply. Those are great leads. I'll be heading to Williamstown in the very near future to investigate these locations. Best regards,

Although it is commonly called the 'Shroud's' house, it is actually the 'Shourds' house. The Shourds are among my ancestors. I actually live maybe a 5 minute drive from the location of the ruined structure. Be careful you don't get shot for trespassing. Some of the locals are very jealous of...
