Description

Heart of the Pines, written by John E. Pierce, and published in ? by ?. This book is comprehensive first hand look at the unique lifestyle of the folks who live and thrive in the Pinelands of New Jersey. From the back panel of the book, “ Many scions of the old families still cling to their forest fastness with a stubborn tenacity worthy of their pioneer predecessors, though the bad publicity they have received as "inbred Pineys" over the years have tarnished their names. Here was a story to be told of industry and activity now lost in the pines, of sea captains and seamen, farmers and entrepreneurs, land barons and iron barons, paper mills and glass factories. These people, he (the author) found, were the true "heart" of the pines, the strong foundation on which our present state and our country were built.”
