Description
The Pine Barrens is a vast wilderness in central New Jersey, larger than most national parks. Since the seventeenth century, it has been known as the Pine Barrens due to its predominantly pine trees and poor soil quality for farming. Developments have gradually moved into the region, reducing the central forest to about a thousand square miles. Despite high population density elsewhere in the state, huge segments of the Pine Barrens remain uninhabited. The few people who live there, known as the "Pineys," are often misunderstood and little known. In this book, John McPhee explores the history of the region and describes the people who call it home, including those with unique skills and traditions.
