- Synopsis
- The author, a journalist and urban explorer, describes the New Jersey Meadowlands, a sprawling marsh just west of Manhattan. Once logged for cedar, later the site of pig farms, the Meadowlands became a vast garbage dump. Unknown numbers of human bodies have disappeared into its mud, including, according to some, that of Teamsters' boss, Jimmy Hoffa. The author weaves stories of the area's colorful past with tales of his own explorations and encounters.
