 [1]Welcome to the August Newsletter from Timothy Hughes Rare & Early Newspapers… History’s Newsstand. We hope you enjoy!
1. New Video Series – A few weeks ago, we kicked off our second video series centered on the founding of the United States. The first series, Lead-up to a Nation, came to a conclusion with the American colonists’ Declaration of Independence. This new series, Fight for a Nation, picks up from there and continues through General Cornwallis’ surrender at Yorktown in 1781. Declaring independence was one thing—winning it was another. Watch Episode 1 below to see how the ragtag Continental Army began to faced down the global power of the British Empire:
