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 the larger national narrative.
Perhaps the most crucial 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.
