"Villages have disappeared even from the maps, the vestiges described by Beck having been obliterated by the bulldozer or the attrition of time. Only this book remains, a labor of love, to tell their stories." --Chicago Tribune
Long regarded as folklife classics, Henry Charlton Beck's books are vivid re-creations of the back roads, small towns, and legends that give New Jersey its special character. Rutgers University Press is pleased to make these important books available again in newly designed editions.

Forgotten Towns Of Southern New Jersey
Anyone who explores the Pines needs to read this book. Beck is "the man" when it comes to history of our South Jersey playground. I picked this book up a decade or so ago. I read some sections back then and along the way, but apparently never made it all the way through. When I sat down recently to make it through my eyes rebelled. Off to Amazon to get the digital version so I can actually see the text. :)
All the little towns that are and once were in the Pinelands are examined. The folklore and history of these places is shared with good humor with the reader.
Beck was a newspaper man who explored this area and wrote for a Camden paper in the mid- to late-1930s.
In addition, there is a second edition (More Forgotten Towns) of this popular anthology of articles. I read that long ago.
