While World War I raged in Europe, America scrambled to supply the
Allies with ammunition, and several munitions plants were
constructed near the Jersey Shore. The hastily built plants hummed
with hardly a mishap until the fateful night of October 4, 1918,
when a series of explosions killed one hundred people. Firemen and
other volunteers were powerless to stop the destruction as it
devastated the Morgan-South Amboy area and terrified the
surrounding region. Strangely, though, this woeful disaster has
been forgotten by history. New Jersey historian Randall Gabrielan
re-creates this terrifying night and its aftermath in the context
of Middlesex County's role in the Great War.
