Lakehurst, NJ is best known as the site of the Hindenburg disaster
and the unofficial ''Airship Capital of the World, '' a place where
rigid airships were once common and where one of the most iconic
events in history took place. But there is much more to the story
than one notable disaster. Located on the northern fringes of New
Jersey's Pine Barrens, Lakehurst boasts a past filled with
visionary railroad barons, innovative military advances, and quirky
residents. For the first time ever, a comprehensive history of this
fascinating community is gathered between two covers. From its days
as a bog iron community making cannonballs for the American
Revolution to its modern status as a bedroom community nestled
outside one of the East Coast's largest military bases, Lakehurst:
Barrens, Blimps & Barons offers a story of New Jersey triumph
and tragedy as told by the people who lived it. Featuring dozens of
photos and based in part on a slew of interviews, Barrens, Blimps
& Barons will delight railroad aficionados, students of
military history, and anyone who has ever had a connection to
Lakehurst, Manchester, Toms River, Whiting, or the Pine Barrens.
