A Note on Historical Context: As you read, please keep in mind that historical research is an ongoing process. Today, historians have unprecedented access to newly digitized newspapers and public archives. Because of this, modern findings may correct or expand upon the information presented here. We haven’t edited these original documents. They are presented exactly as they were printed to preserve the research from that time.
