A book of NJ stories by Joseph G. Bilby, James M. Madden and Harry Ziegler Hidden History of New Jersey At War Hidden History of New Jersey At War By Joseph G. Bilby, James M. Madden and Harry Ziegler Discover the Stories of the Unsung Heroes New Jersey At War The Garden State has made innumerable contributions to our nation’s military history, on both battlefield and homefront, but many of those stories remain hidden within larger national narrative. Perhaps the most critical one-day battle of the Revolution was fought in Monmouth County, and New Jersey officers engineered the conquest of California in the Mexican War. During the Civil War, a New Jersey unit was instrumental in saving Washington D.C., from Confederate capture. In World War II, New Jersey women flocked to war production factories and served in the armed forces, and a West Orange girl helped ferry Spitfire fighters in England. War came home to the coast in 1942 with the sinking of the SS Resor by a German submarine, but the state’s citizens reacted by contributing everything they could to the war effort. Uncover these and other stories from New Jersey’s hidden wartime history. Buy Now
