There are many familiar moments in New Jersey's history, but
what about the Garden State's lesser-known stories-the
unsung heroes, villains and forgotten tales? Many of these are
collected here by New Jersey natives Joseph G. Bilby,
James M. Madden and Harry Ziegler.
Uncover the meaning of "Jersey Blues," celebrate some of the
state's bravest Revolutionary and Civil War soldiers and
investigate Jersey City's most infamous ghost. From the
inferno that engulfed Asbury Park to the benevolent side of
Frank Hague and the equestrienne who plunged forty feet into
a pool of water on horseback in Atlantic City, rediscover these
and many other events from New Jersey's hidden history.
