MarkBNJ: While it would be a great thing to conduct an archaelogical investigation at Mount, it really won't happen unless the Anthropology Department of some local college or university gains the owner's permission to conduct a summer field school at this location. Contract archaeology would...

Thanks, Guy, and sorry, Bob! I had my bi-focals on and didn't see the screen correctly!! :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: Best regards, Jerseyman

Boyd: Very, very nice addition to this thread! I do have the 1910 Museum volume in my state report collection, but it has been quite some time since I last looked at it. Even so, I don't recall reading that particular passage, but I surely will not forget it after reading your message. Thank...

Bob: I initially thought they might be part of a botanical or natural science group. I did compare the images to a portrait I have of State Geologist George Hamill Cook, but I cannot identify him among the group, so I discounted this as being any type of "official" outing. Perhaps it is a...

Folks: James Ungehajer contacted me in a PM and inquired about Munion Field. I know that other forum members have expressed some interest in this place, so I decided to post my reply to all. There is very little written on Munion Field. Beck mentions it in his book, Forgotten Towns of...

Folks: Gurbanik contacted me via PM about three weeks ago and inquired about the place name Hockamick. I have been too busy to answer him until now. I told him over this past weekend that I would respond to the whole forum as I think there may be others with an interest. For those who do not...

Folks: I have established a new album containing ten historic photographs taken in the Pine Barrens. Unfortunately, I have no information about where, when, and who took the images and who the people might be in some of the pictures. The paper appears to be albumen paper, which dates the...

Scott: I, too, have looked at the primary sources and I MIGHT concede that the plant fired little or no brick for commercial production, but I still maintain that the factory produced at least one batch of bricks just to verify that all of the equipment purchased from Chambers Brothers...

Scott: Opinions about dubious newspaper articles, racism, and demonizing someone with reports of pediophilia are NEVER an excuse for not conducting research with a proper level of due diligence. I first reported the New Jersey Mirror article back in December 2006 (see...

Gee wis, what part of "'dug out' wooden canoe" does not fit into your definition of a real canoe? Of course I doubt a hollowed-out, shaped tree trunk would require an application of canvas! :confused: :confused: :confused: Best regards, Jerseyman

Mike: I can't say with absolute certainty, but I suspect that the name stems from Aaron Early, a nineteenth-century Pemberton Township farmer and cranberry grower. Early also entered into a partnership with Joseph M. Reeves to operate a store and meeting hall in the village of Pemberton. Early...

Tom: Hot shot is a solid iron cannonball that the cannoneer has heated to cherry red. Normally naval vessels would use such ordnance against other ships, but it can also be used for anti-personnel efforts. Best regards, Jerseyman

Guy: Obviously, I have no idea what you are researching, but it must be serious to make you drive 4 hours to a site outside the Pines!! :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: If I can offer you any advice or suggestions for your research, please feel free to contact me via pm or email. Of course...

Boyd: If you have the opportunity, take a look at the lithographic print of Dr. Still's house and office in the Scott 1876 Combination Atlas Map of Burlington County and you will see that he had a separate office and house. The house, a Second Empire-style dwelling with a Mansard roof, met its...
