Lost Towns of the Pine Barrens

I just received this review of “Lost Towns of the Pine Barrens, Vol. I” from a wonderful writer of several historical books about New Jersey. I urge you to check out the review, the DVD and his wonderful books.

A terrific video for those who love the Pinelands and appreciate its rich history and for those who want to learn more about this beautiful area, seemingly untouched by people.It was fascinating to learn how the Pinelands once bustled with industrial activity, including glassmaking and ironmaking, thanks to the area’s unique ecosystem. Lost Towns of the Pine Barrens does a wonderful job of showing how this area evolved from an industrial center into a historical and recreational center.
