Galloway, N.J. – What could a Frenchman, a dog, a bottle of brandy and George Washington possibly have in common?

The answer can be found in the fourth edition of SoJourn, Stockton University’s journal of South Jersey history, culture and geography.

This issue features stories and pictures on the beauty of Elizabeth C. White’s famed Pine Barrens garden at Whitesbog, the ghost town of Calico, and the twist and turns of history and myth-making in South Jersey.

SoJourn is a collaborative effort of local historians, Stockton students, and the South Jersey Culture and History Center (SJCHC). SoJourn 2.2 is produced by the SJCHC with student interns working with center Director Tom Kinsella and Assistant Director Paul W. Schopp.

It is available at the Stockton University Bookstore, Second Time Books in Mt. Laurel, the AtlantiCare Regional Medical Center gift shop and Amazon. The Journal can also be purchased from Kinsella or Schopp at Stockton. The price is $10 and all proceeds go to the SJCHC publication fund.
