During the American Revolution; Great Britain hired thirty thousand German troops to fight rebellious colonists. Five thousand of those troops marched across New Jersey from Princeton and Trenton all the way to the northern tip of Sussex County. Though popular legend would cast them as cold and vicious mercenaries; many were prisoners of war with little choice. Stories of their exploits still circulate in New Jersey; from the headless Hessian of the Morristown Swamp to the mysterious Ramapo Mountain people. Join author Pete Lubrecht as he navigates the myth of Hessian troops in New Jersey to separate fiction from fact.

Great explanation of how they did it....By Jeanne N.This is a fascinating book written by engineers who detail how the massive project could be done. I'm a Curse of Oak Island junky; and I believe Rick had this book in the war room in season 4 episode 14 when he selected the location of GAL-1. The idea of British involvement correlates to the British coins and buttons found on the island in season 4. Unfortunately; this book seems continually unavailable; so I bought it electronically at another site. However; an e-reader version doesn't do it justice because of all the figures involved;and therefore I recommend the print version. Worth the money!
