New Jersey in History; Fighting to be Heard
$ 26.00
New Jersey’s underrated history — surprising, tumultuous, and of invaluable importance to the United States — finally gets its due respect! This newly released book explores the state’s past — from pre-Revolutionary days, when it comprised two colonies, to its role in 20th Century fears over threatened invasions by Nazis, Russians, or even Martians ready to start a “War of the Worlds.”
Author Thomas Farner writes in his preface, “Trapped between New York and Philadelphia, the state’s place in history has always been underrated ... As James Madison once lamented, ‘Poor New Jersey, she is like a keg tapped at both ends.’”
