    Cedar Bridge Tavern Decision

    Guy I did see those pics. They were pretty good too. BTW, aren't there some 1930s HABS photos of the tavern or am I thinking of some other place? relayer

    Delaware Water Gap

    Boyd The pictures are beautiful. I was up that way a couple or three weeks ago and was kicking myself for having forgotten my camera. Still, I got to see a lot of the country. Bevans, Flatbrookville, Walpack Center, the Old Mine Road and Dingman's Bridge among other places. Just gorgeous...

    Cedar Bridge Tavern Decision

    Guy Good question. I'll check with Dave and Jerseyman to see if they have any ideas. It might depend on whether the militia recovered his body or whether the tories were left with it. We'll see. I'm still amazed at the oldest bar thing. All those 18th century taverns and not one original...

    Cedar Bridge Tavern Decision

    Here is an ecruciatingly short quote from Dave Munn's Battles and Skirmishes regarding the Battle of Cedar Bridge. CEDAR CREEK (BRIDGE) December 27, 1782 Loyalists defeat New Jersey troops in possibly the last land action of the war. Pvt. William Cooke Jr. dies during skirmish. NJDOD PR, 552...

    Dingletown

    Perhaps it's because I don't see very well or else that I just don't pay attention but we were33 out the other day and I finally noticed that the Shamong Twp sports complex was named after Dingletown. "What's the story on that name?" I thought. After forgetting about it for a while I finally...

    Flo's Tavern ???

    Gagliarchives: There have been two taverns on Crooked Lane over the years. The second one, The Fountain Hotel, was populer in the early 19th century. I commend you to Jerseyman for information about the place. The first tavern in the area, was run by James Wild in the early eighteenth...

    The Air Tune

    In his book "The Pine Barrens" John McPhee recounts the story of the Air Tune wherein Sammy Giberson engages in a fiddling contest with the Devil to determine who the best fiddler is, loses the contest and then is rescued when the Air Tune is heard and puts both their efforts to shame. I...

    Camino

    Just thought I'd drop a line about how pleased I am with the newest version of the Camino browser for Macintosh. While I use Safari a lot, I have found it necessary to have a Mozilla based browser on hand. In the past I have used the Mac versions of Mozilla and Firefox. They were both buggy...

    Say "so long" to Cranberries

    Hmmm....Let me get this straight. "Scientists" have advised our governor, "Crash" Corzine, that despite the fact that it's impossible to get a reliable 5 day forecast, they know what the weather will be in 2100. Nothing like extrapolation to give a result(worked for Enron...right?). Better put...

    NJDEP iMAP 1930 Aerial Photobase Now Available

    Great site. Thanks for posting the link. The 31 flyowers are a great resource. When teamed up with the other layers you can see all sorts of things (such as how bogus the current state boundaries for the Pine Barrens are). Also you can flip back and forth between 1931 and 2003 to get a...

    Is Cherry HIll land a paupers cemetery?

    There is no question(I do mean no question, that is none whatsoever) that the land was once the Waterford Township potters field (it was one of two. Jerseyman places the other in today's Pennsauken ). I've seen the deed transcription in the Clement Collection at HSP and the tract identified as...
