Just picked up a copy of The New York Times Complete Civil War a compendium of select articles which appeared before and after the Civil war and the complete collection of stories written during it, the book covers the period starting in 1853 and ending in 1896 a total of 139,000 articles if you include those in the accompanying CD. All for $25.00!
Sounds like a valuable resource, ovcatto. I found "The Alamo Reader" in a used bookstore for 35 bucks and it was worth a great deal more. It is an assembly of every original document related to the Alamo saga, access to everything all in one book.
It contains a wide array of contemporary news articles and I find it fascinating how both stunningly inaccurate some articles proved to be, and amazingly detailed and correct others were. I suspect that you will experience the same as you read the compendium which you purchased.
Thanks for the head's up ovcatto.... Sounds like something that would interest me...
What I find most interesting, so far, is the political commentary.
PS - for the ignorance is my comfort crowd, as today, the New York Times reprinted stories from other papers many from the south.
