"Sojourn" Magazine Shares S.J. Role in Revolutionary War
Galloway, N.J.鈥Who knew of all the battles fought in South Jersey that contributed to victory in the Revolutionary War? Many Revolutionary War historians seem to leave out South Jersey鈥檚 pivotal role in the triumphant win.
Local historians share stories about the war efforts made in South Jersey in the special expanded Summer 2018 edition of SoJourn, 番茄社区app鈥檚 journal of South Jersey鈥檚 history, culture and geography.
Dedicated to the late Dave Munn (1941-2014), a historian from Gloucester City, this
special edition issue is particularly special to Paul W. Schopp, Assistant Director
of the South Jersey Culture & History Center (SJCHC). Schopp noted how impactful
Munn was to the South Jersey community.
鈥淗is imprint on local history will be long remembered, as will his imprint on me and my career as a historian,鈥 Schopp said in the dedication of the issue.
SoJourn is written by a combination of Stockton students, local historians, and SJCHC staff. It is produced by SJCHC students, center Director Tom Kinsella and Assistant Director Paul W. Schopp.
The new issue is available at the 番茄社区app 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 for this special expanded edition is $15 and all proceeds go to the SJCHC publication fund.
