Quick Summary
As a new American nation emerged in the 1800s, the first draft of history was written by those who experienced it and recorded it in newspaper pages from coast to coast. Reading those exact pages is like stepping directly into history. And with Gale’s 19th Century U.S. Newspapers — a full-text searchable, facsimile-image database-experiencing 19th-century American culture, daily life and events is as easy as clicking a mouse. This close look provides a unique perspective valuable to both professional and general researchers across a spectrum of subjects. Newspapers were the lifeblood of the new Republic, and the contents of their pages helped shape the nation’s identity, carrying not just the stories which unified American opinions, norms and interests, but fueling the crucial debates of the day. The 19th century press helped to create an environment of free expression which came to typify both America and the American. And with about 1.7 million pages archived — the vast majority of which have never before been accessible online — this easily-accessed resource seems endless.
