- Synopsis
- This is a collection of short chapters, each recounting an unusual episode in New Jersey history. The pieces are arranged chronologically, beginning with the colonial era and ending with recent events such as the opening of casinos in Atlantic City. Incidents range from the weird (the origin of the Jersey Devil legend and the sightings of the demon over three centuries) to the well-known (the kidnapping of the Lindbergh baby). There are the shark attacks of 1916, and the "Black Tom Explosion" that may have been a German terrorist attack in the days before World War I.
