Chronicling America
You have read it so many times in previous “Genealogy Gems” issues, and you likely heard it many dozens of times more--newspapers of yesteryear are the chroniclers of the lives and times of communities across the country. And with veterans being appropriately honored in the communities where they were born, lived, and are buried, newspapers are important in telling the stories of their lives and honoring their service. These free newspapers from the Library of Congress are terrific complements to the paid databases of Newspapers.com and NewspaperArchives.com that are accessible in many libraries. Some remarkable examples of articles include a May 8, 1898 issue of “The Daily Kentuckian” containing a complete roster of those leaving for service and the May 31, 1893 edition of “The Evening Bulletin” providing national news about the Grand Army of the Republic. One may also find access to some early newspapers in state memory projects.
