MOSES ON THE MESA Sometimes it seems God could be the eye of a horse that holds a darkened lake, some boat of light upon wind swept grain. And here among the opened white scroll of clouds trapped inside a water trough lies a baptism without some doctrine.

The three-hundred-year history of iron mining in Morris County, NJ

Morris County's abandoned mines have created all manner of chaos for commuters this year when sections of highway above have collapsed into sinkholes.

Most passing through this portion of Interstate 80 don't realize that iron production in the Wharton and Rockaway region began in the early 1700s and produced material vital to the Revolutionary War. Several mines remained active until the late 1800s and early 1900s.

This recent article traces the history of one family's iron mine in Rockaway and how two major highways cut through their nearby home in nearby downtown Parsippany.
