This is the second issue of SoJourn, a journal dedicated to publishing articles describing the history, culture, and geography of South Jersey–the eight southernmost counties of New Jersey. This issue reaches back to the eighteenth century, albeit through discussion of a mid-nineteenth century novel, and stretches forward to the summer of 2016, describing a day spent with a Leeds Point crabber. Essays touch upon local industries–sawmills, fishing, crabbing and fruitpicking–upon art–architecture, literature and, again, fruitpicking–and also upon notable citizens–Margaret Mead, the Rev. Jeremiah H. Pierce, and four generations of Butcher MDs.
