  • New Jersey in Focus: the World War I Era 1910-1920
    New Jersey in Focus: The World War I Era 1910-1920 Exhibit at the Monmouth County Library Headquarters 125 Symmes Drive Manalapan, New Jersey October 2015 Organized by The Monmouth County Archives Division of the Monmouth County Clerk Christine Giordano Hanlon Gary D. Saretzky, Curator Eugene Osovitz, Preparer Produced by the Monmouth County Archives 125 Symmes Drive Manalapan, NJ 07726 New Jersey in Focus: The World War I Era, 1910-1920 About one hundred years ago, during the 1910-1920 decade in America, the economy boomed and the Gross National Product more than doubled. Ten million Americans bought automobiles, most for the first time. Ford’s Model T, produced with then revolutionary assembly line methods, transformed family life for owners. Such personal “machines” led to paved roads and the first traffic light, reduced the need for blacksmiths and horses, increased the demand for auto mechanics and gas stations, and, when not caught up in traffic jams, sped up daily life. Some owners braved dirt roads to drive to the Jersey Shore, where thousands thronged to see the annual Baby Parade in Asbury Park. While roads at the start of the decade were barely adequate for travel in the emerging auto boom, New Jersey became a leader in the advocacy and construction of improved thoroughfares. Better road and rail transportation facilitated both industrial and agricultural production, bringing such new products as commercially grown blueberries from Whitesbog, New Jersey, to urban dwellers. In the air, history was made in 1912, when the first flight to deliver mail between two government post offices landed in South Amboy.

  • Black Tom Shell Gwen Wright
    Season 6, Episode 7: Black Tom Shell Gwen Wright: Our first story probes a devastating act of foreign sabotage on American soil. World War One. America is determined to remain neutral. Then, an earth-shaking explosion rocks New Jersey and Manhattan. Headlines attribute the devastation and carnage to an industrial accident on nearby Black Tom Island. But Black Tom was being used to store ammunition bound for British guns…and the blast was no accident. Unlike other terrifying peacetime attacks, however -- Pearl Harbor or 9/11 -- Black Tom is little known, and strangely faded from history. Almost a century later, Elaine Harvan Barbini from White House Station, New Jersey, believes she has an artillery shell that survived that fateful attack. Elaine: My mother always used it at home as a doorstop and I thought wouldn’t be great to find out more history about it and see if you could trace it back and actually find out how it got into the family. Gwen: I’m Gwendolyn Wright, and I’m here to take a careful look at Elaine’s shell. Hi you’re Elaine? Elaine: Nice to meet you. Please come in. Gwen: So this is what you wanted to show me? Elaine: Yes it is. Gwen: Wow. This does look like an artillery shell, what do you know about it? Elaine: Very little. My mom had put this piece of paper in it. It says “Bomb, Black Tom explosion” and she wasn’t sure the year she put 1914 and World War I. Gwen: Aren’t you a little nervous about having what might still be live ammunition in your house? Elaine: I know my mom did have this checked out so it is safe.

    NJS: An Interdisciplinary Journal Summer 2017 27 NJS Presents A Special Feature New Jersey and the Great War: Part I By Dr. Richard J. Connors DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.14713/njs.v3i2.83 As April 2017 marked the 100th anniversary of America’s entry into World War I, this edition of NJS has several related offerings. These include this special feature, an adapted version of the first half of Dr. Richard J. Connors’ new book, New Jersey and the Great War (Dorrance, 2017). We will publish the second half in our Winter 2018 issue. Those who can’t wait, or who want to see the unedited text (to include endnotes, illustrations, and tables) can always purchase the book online! We are most grateful to Dr. Connors for allowing us to share his insightful and comprehensive work in this way, and hope you will help us ensure the widest possible dissemination by sharing the very timely piece with your colleagues, students, family, and friends. Preface When my generation were youngsters, “the war” was the Great War, now known as World War I. On Memorial Day we bought artificial flowers in remembrance of the veterans lying in European cemeteries “where poppies grow between the crosses, row on row.” On Armistice Day, November 11, we went to our local cemeteries to honor departed neighbors, especially those whose bodies were re-interred from France. At the movies, rarely air-conditioned, for a ten cent admission we watched Lew Ayres in All Quiet on the Western Front, or Errol Flynn in Dawn Patrol, plus the latest Buck Rogers serial.

  • 1933–1941, a New Deal for Forest Service Research in California
    The Search for Forest Facts: A History of the Pacific Southwest Forest and Range Experiment Station, 1926–2000 Chapter 4: 1933–1941, A New Deal for Forest Service Research in California By the time President Franklin Delano Roosevelt won his landslide election in 1932, forest research in the United States had grown considerably from the early work of botanical explorers such as Andre Michaux and his classic Flora Boreali- Americana (Michaux 1803), which first revealed the Nation’s wealth and diversity of forest resources in 1803. Exploitation and rapid destruction of forest resources had led to the establishment of a federal Division of Forestry in 1876, and as the number of scientists professionally trained to manage and administer forest land grew in America, it became apparent that our knowledge of forestry was not entirely adequate. So, within 3 years after the reorganization of the Bureau of Forestry into the Forest Service in 1905, a series of experiment stations was estab- lished throughout the country. In 1915, a need for a continuing policy in forest research was recognized by the formation of the Branch of Research (BR) in the Forest Service—an action that paved the way for unified, nationwide attacks on the obvious and the obscure problems of American forestry. This idea developed into A National Program of Forest Research (Clapp 1926) that finally culminated in the McSweeney-McNary Forest Research Act (McSweeney-McNary Act) of 1928, which authorized a series of regional forest experiment stations and the undertaking of research in each of the major fields of forestry. Then on March 4, 1933, President Roosevelt was inaugurated, and during the “first hundred days” of Roosevelt’s administration, Congress passed his New Deal plan, putting the country on a better economic footing during a desperate time in the Nation’s history.
