Karen F. Riley has developed a passion for the Pine Barrens and its people, history, and culture. This is her third book on the area, and she is deeply indebted to the residents who shared their photographs, stories, and history so others may learn about this jewel of New Jersey. Budd Wilson is a retired historical archaeologist who has excavated several sites in the Pine Barrens, including iron furnaces, a window glass factory, a lime kiln, and a schoolhouse.
