This blog presents local news taken from newspaper archives, recording the minutiae of everyday life in a bygone age.

Newspapers were the main, if not the only, source of news and information for much of that time. For this reason we can get a deeper glimpse into everyday life a century ago, than we might gleen from today's newspapers.

[... and in the process of doing this, I'll learn more about the history of the area in which I live. I'll concentrate on northern New England, at least initially, rather than the entire New England area, as that's the part I'm more familiar with.]
