This collection of 20 public domain newspaper articles comprises volume 2 of the Historic Newspaper Articles collection. Both U.S. and U.K. newspapers are represented here. The articles span from 1848 to 1920. Topics covered (e.g., the Triangle Shirt Waist Factory Fire, the troubles of ‘Typhoid Mary’, how to dress for the seashore) vary in length and tone. Although the writers display a range of diverse styles, their words give today's readers a sense of the tenor of the times.01 1848-06-10 Excitement & Enthusiasm of Gold Washing Still Continues -- Increases, California Star 00:04:0402 1859-01-11 American Industry Abroad The New York Times 00:12:4303 1884-10-22 Dakota.
