I guess I’ve always been interested in history but when I got a kindle around 10 years ago I began downloading hundreds and hundreds of public domain books and reading them, I thought it was interesting to see how similar the sentiments and actions of people were then when you compared them to those today. People enjoyed the same things, hated the same things, felt the same things.

So I wanted to go deeper and try and see every day life for people living at that time, and I think newspapers are one of the best ways to do so!
