I have been waiting for this book...although I did not know about it until this AM. I bought a few British newspapers from the 1770s on eBay that had reported on the RevWar, but could ever afford the American papers.

This is just great...

$26.39 @ Amazon; not bad.

One of the more important books ever published on the RevWar, IMO, Freepers. Forty bucks, but ask Santa...he's a Patriot.

The RevWar/Colonial History/General Washington ping list

That does sound good.

Me too. I bought one American newspaper from 1777 with a Paul Revere engraving in the masthead.

Readers are cautioned to be wary of perspective, bias, propaganda, credibility, grammar, humor and sarcasm, irony and context.

LOL. Some things NEVER change. How did these early journalists learn these things without professional journalism universities?

I hate to cast a negative or only qualified positive on the book, if by chance you haven’t picked it up yet. My kids got it at Barnes and Noble a couple of days after Christmas at half price. They said the author had been through on a book tour a couple weeks before. My beef with it is that it has a very “coffee-table book” presentation of the newspapers. They are lain out as the background in a murky photo-copied kind of way, with blurbs high-lighted and “pop-up” style commentary overlain. Th articles are readable but pages shown are chopped off at top , bottom and sides. maybe it will grow on me with more time spent, but it’s a little disappointing at first glance. BTW, the Barnes and Noble edition “exclusively” has souvenir-style replicas of four one-page broadsides sewn in the back, appendix-style.
