What a month! As we consider the month of April one would be hard-pressed to find another which is pregnant with as many recognizable historic events. While any attempt to come up with the most noteworthy would certainly be anemic, most efforts to create a shortlist would likely include: Lincoln’s assassination, the attack on Fort Sumter, the end of the Civil War, the 1906 San Francisco earthquake, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s assassination, the Pony Express’ maiden trek, the U.S. Mint, Microsoft, and Apple are born, Jesse James is killed, the Titanic sinks, Paul Revere (and his compatriots) make their famous ride, the Revolutionary War begins (i.e., “The shot heard ’round the world” is fired”), a mutiny occurred on the HMS Bounty, Benjamin Franklin dies, and more. The following link will take you to our available newspapers from the month of April:
*Although we do not have a contemporary newspaper report to offer (since what we call “newspapers” were yet to exist), far be it from me to not mention the most impactful April event of all time: the crucifixion of Jesus Christ.

Today “This Month in History” turns the spotlight on the shortest month of the year – February. While searching through the available newspapers in order to select one to use as the representative photo, my initial short-list of possibilities included newspapers featuring coverage of the St. Valentine’s Day massacre in Chicago, the sinking of the Battleship Maine (which led to the Spanish-American War), the Death of Geronimo, the assassination of Malcolm X, and similar. As I pondered which to pick, it occurred to me all of my selections were focused on the reporting of “bad news”. Wishing to take a different approach, I searched again for reports of positive events and discovered coverage of the passage of the 15th Amendment, the founding of The Boy Scouts of America, Nelson Mandela’s release from prison, one with a mention of the opening of the first publicly funded school in the U.S., Abraham Lincoln’s famous “Cooper Union” speech, and more. Finally, after much consideration, I landed on the perfect choice – a newspaper announcing…
If you think this was a poor or inappropriate selection you probably haven’t seen the movie. While it may not be anywhere close to the most important, historic, or “collectible” newspaper published in the month of February, it nails the age-old proverb regarding a cure for much of what ails us: “A cheerful heart is good medicine…” (Proverbs 17:22).
So, as you take a gander at the list of newspapers published in the month of February, although a smidge belated, the Rare & Early Newspapers Family wishes you a cheerful and healthy New Year!
