		<title>The Traveler… a giant step for woman-kind…</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Today I traveled to Springfield, Massachusetts, via The Springfield Union, June 17, 1963. There I found the Soviet Union had launched the first woman into space. 26 year-old Valentina Tereshkova, a former factory worker, became the first female space pilot when they launched into orbit the day prior. Although she would not physically walk on [...]]]></description>

		<title>Niles’ Weekly Register documented the first half of the 19th century…</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Of the many notable newspapers published in the history of the United States there are a few stand-outs for different eras. Of the colonial era the &#8220;Pennsylvania Gazette&#8221; came to prominence under the guidance of publisher Ben Franklin, and in the latter decades of the 1700&#8242;s the &#8220;Gazette of the United States&#8220;, and the &#8220;Columbian [...]]]></description>

		<title>Reporting the world of sports…</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One of the passions held by many is sports, and each season provides a new opportunity to cheer on one’s favorite teams as they follow their efforts through to a hopeful championship. It is not coincidence that “fan” is a diminutive form of the word “fanatic”. The hobby of collecting early newspaper adds an opportunity [...]]]></description>

		<title>Beyond the big, historic headline…</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Some of the better &#38; more fascinating items found in old newspapers are not the most historic or significant, but rather the casual appearance of seemingly innocuous reports which excite collecting interest beyond the historic headline or dramatic presentation which are the more usual draw. Much of what intrigues collectors can be lost within the [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Traveler… deaths of General Pike and Major Stoddard… recruiting…</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Today I traveled to Hartford, Connecticut by the way of the American Mercury dated June 1, 1813. There I found  an extract of  letter from an officer to his father. He writes from Sacket&#8217;s Harbor pertaining to the Battle of York, &#8220;We arrived at this place last evening from Niagara. The body of General Pike [...]]]></description>

		<title>What meaningful gift do you give to a 90-year-old?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One of the greatest challenges when it comes to gift-giving is what to purchase for someone in their 50&#8242;s-90&#8242;s+ that is both unique and meaningful.  While we at Rare Newspapers specialize in offering historic newspapers from the 1600&#8242;s, 1700&#8242;s, and 1800&#8242;s, we also offer Birthday Newspapers &#8211; issues from the day someone was born. A [...]]]></description>

		<title>The post-Civil War: an era rich in history…</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Few eras of American history have been romanticized as the  Post-Civil War 19th Century.  For those who grew up in the 1950’s &#38; 1960’s, television had more than its fair share of Western-themed shows. And the “Wild West” was a common feature on the silver screen as well. Not only can one capture a flavor [...]]]></description>

		<title>Just another reason not to smoke…</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This advertisement for the &#8220;Beauty&#8221; Bower cigar, found in the Daily Free Press, June 3, 1881, from Bodie, California doesn&#8217;t seem to hold true to its name. If this is what the smokers looked like &#8220;after&#8221;, I&#8217;d hate to see the &#8220;before&#8221;. I wonder if 19th century travelers to the region where confronted with signs [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This week I journey to New York City by the way of The New York Tribune of May 19, 1913. There I found a report from John D. Rockefeller on the white slave trafficking that was occurring. &#8220;The report says, New York has become the hub of the white slave traffic, not only for the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[An era rich in history… with hidden gems throughout&#8230; Many rare newspaper collectors focus on the more memorable eras of history such as the Revolutionary War, the Civil War, or World War II. Brief date periods –as war events tend to be—can allow for a more concise collection without becoming unduly large if one concentrates [...]]]></description>
