    Looks like the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles have a replacement! Reminds me of Tolkien’s “malevolent trees in the Old Forest.” Jerseyman

    The Stagecoach Stop- Medford

    John: Congratulations! You have done well in preparing your documentation of the building. I appreciate the effort you exerted in both your research and the quality of your presentation! You have factually stated the case, although, if you do not mind, I would respectfully hone your...

    purgatory house?

    Folly: You have chosen your user name well! Since I am the one who initiated the prevarication in this thread—purely for noble and preservative ideals as a favor to a friend—I will put an end to your languescent, jejune, and wholly false accusations against my Pine-Barren brother...

    purgatory house?

    lalala: Wow—you must REALLY BE a WNJ devotee to write the preceding posting! The neighbor provide you with the correct information: there are no ghosts and there is no house. You should not be so gullible about things you read—particularly things concerning ghosts and beheadings posted on...

    A man, a machine

    George: A very nice find, indeed! These track cars or section cars played a vital role in maintaining the railroad in the past. The power transmission system is exactly as you describe it: a friction drive with a renewable drive band on the disc running perpendicular to the flywheel. A friend...

    A tough night in the pines

    lalala: Emilio Carranza flew alone and there were no “people boarded on his plane” or even people aboard his plane that lost their lives. Carranza, a.k.a. Mexico’s Lindbergh or Lone Eagle, flew solo and was traveling back home to Mexico when a bad thunderstorm caused his plane to crash in the...

    Jersey Devil Encounters?

    Omega: I presume you’ve been in contact with the guy I told you about!?!?! Have you heard the taped interview he made of the man who encountered “something” while driving through Cumberland County? I think there is some really good material there for your work. You might also want to...

    Tom: I also have Alsatian blood flowing through my veins and I suffer from the same identity crisis as you, no doubt, endure. My surname is a popular beer in France, yet it is also the name of small village in south-central Germany. Hence, the identity crisis. I have not read Gustav Folcher’s...

    Train Kills Mother, Two Children!

    George: Sorry to be so tardy in responding to your fabulous—but sad—newspaper article. I learn something new every day and your posting has provided me with heretofore totally unknown information. I had always held the belief that during the Blue Comet’s entire twelve-year run not a single...

    Public service announcement for heterosexual males

    There is no end of puns and jokes that could be made in this strange and queer thread, but I have chosen to leave it alone (for the most part!). Jerseyman

    Jerseyman's book recommendation

    Tom: The Hessian military force served as mercenaries for King George III, but represent a group of professional soldiers with many of the officers emanating from the aristocratic class. Since they acted as soldiers of fortune, they did not have the same “dog in the fight” as their British...

    Four trestles in Lacey make historic places registers

    46er: What an incredibly confusing newspaper article. I am presuming that Wayne (McCabe), Jean Kolva, and the rest of the crew prepared a National Register nomination for the Rail-Trail group, but you really can’t clearly discern that from the article. The best I can make out is the issuance...

    Jerseyman's book recommendation

    Tom: To continue the chronology, I suggest you read William M. Dwyer’s book, The Day is Ours!, which is a logical and temporal extension of David H. Fischer’s work. Dwyer’s volume will educate you on the battles of Trenton and Princeton. There are few people who can exceed Dwyer’s knowledge...

    Jerseyman's book recommendation

    Tom: I’m glad you enjoyed the read and that you observed the same trends I did in comparing the two books. David Hackett Fischer became my favorite modern historian after reading his seminal work, Albion’s Seed, which discusses the transference of folkways from various areas of Great Britain...

    Old Pine Barrens Photos Wanted

    Folks: Arcadia books are what they are and I do collect them for my library. The company has published over 350 books about New Jersey. However, you all need to be aware that when you provide images for someone compiling such a book today, you will lose control of that image and its...
