Description

For every major event or issue of the colonial period, newspapers printed the opinions of the day, in many cases attempting to influence public opinion.

Issues such as medical discoveries, education, and censorship are covered in this collection along with important events such as the French and Indian War, the trial of John Peter Zenger, and the Boston Massacre.

Each chapter introduces the event or issue and includes news articles, letters, essays, even poetry representing both sides of the argument as they affected Americans.

Each document is preceded by an explanatory introduction.

This is the only collection of primary source documents from colonial newspapers on the events of the era and will be a valuable tool for research and classroom discussion.
