Fivehour presentation for your this evening, and decided to scale that back to a more manageable 45 minutes. So ill start by saying this, without newspapers, there would have been no American Revolution. Newspapers are what fanned the flames of the rebellion. They sustained loyalty to the cause, they provided Critical Response during the war and aid in the outcome. Historians know this very well. For 200 plus years, the historians have referred the footnotes. What this book was inverts the traditional history book taking the newspapers that have been in the footnotes and places them at the forefront for general readers like you to enjoy full access and newspaper from the period. The process for putting this book together was quite a journey for me. I started out as enthusist, then became a collector, then became an educator through a website called rag lynn. Com and through the book. The story how i discovered historical newspaper happened about five years ago. My wife and i took our f
