Guns of Sandy Hook: how America caught up with world powers on the Jersey shore

Article Abstract:

Sandy Hook, New Jersey is a narrow, five-mile split of rolling dunes and beaches that is part of the Gateway National Recreation Area and is across the harbor from Manhattan and Coney Island. The peninsula's first military use dates back to the American Revolution, when the British fortified Sandy Hook with redoubts of timber and earth, which were sufficient to hold it despite attempts by the rebels to knock the lighthouse.
