Oops! Looks like the first link I gave was wrong. Here’s the correct link:

Folks who live in or near enough to New Jersey know about the myth of a Jersey Devil who supposedly haunts the Pine Barrens, a pine forest in the central-southern part of the state. It turns out that the myth has a strong Quaker connection. This is a fascinating bit of both Quaker and local Jersey history involving George Fox, George Keith, and Benjamin Franklin, among others.

Thanks, Steve. I went to college in NJ and some friends from Architecture School started the Jersey Devil Construction (and design) Company. I forwarded it to one of them.

Still broken.
