I’ll never understand in a million years how they set that type every day. First off all the letters are reversed for it to print right side up, so they would have to spell out words using reversed type unless they used mirrors? But look how many words there are! And they did this EVERY day letter by letter???

I so deeply appreciate every posting of the "Newspaper of Record" from the dates one hundred and sixty years ago. Especially being directly descended from one soldier serving at the time under Grant and Sherman somewhere in the "west"

But the gloss The New York Times put on news from the front, which we now know at this point in the struggle was mostly bad for Union forces, is a reminder that "spin" is nothing new. The same namesake rag can be seen every day performing the same gyrations on behalf of the Democrats and the Biden Circus.
