By Armand Francis Lucier. Inside this wonderful book is a collection of 579 news items, stories, commentaries, depositions and want ads that were published in the year 1767 in Colonial American newspapers. The articles cover issues that are surprisingly still in the news today, such as: women's rights; child abuse; civil unrest; prison reform; fragile peace in Europe and the Middle East; and public fascination with ongoing, scandalous court trials. Of course, the articles also cover issues that are more pertinent to life in 1767 than to life today, but no less interesting, including: the slave trade; Indian strife; indentured servants; the impressment of sailors; and, the scourge of sea travel, pirates.
