#23: August 17, 1891 - The Morning Herald (Halifax, NS) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Corruption! Graft! Boodling! The continuing investigation into allegations of misappropriation of funds by Quebec's Mercier government, fears of famine continue to grow in Europe as Russian grain supplies dwindle, and a tourist lost $150 she tucked into a book! Political scandal dominates this episode, as we head right back to the Canadian Maritimes in 1891, with the Monday, August 17, 1891 edition of The Halifax Morning Herald!
Episode 22: July 20, 1870 - Western Reserve Chronicle (Warren, OH) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
France and Prussia are on the brink of war! Southern plantations are importing Chinese laborers to work in their cotton and sugar fields! A German woman thinks her husband is cheating on her with that hussy Katrina von Trump! This dramatic episode of Past & Printed (and our first from the 1870s) takes us to the ardently abolitionist, fervently religious, and surprisingly interesting town of Warren, Ohio and their newspaper, the Western Reserve Chronicle. This was actually a more interesting read
