PALESTINE DAILY HERALD, Texas, May 23, 1934 See the photo for the great
banner headline on the death of the famed outlaw duo Bonnie &
Clyde. Most issues found on their death are one or two column reports,
making banner headlines such as this extremely uncommon. And great to
have in a Texas newspaper, as they were killed near the Texas/Louisiana
border.

THE CLAY BUGLE, Rochester, N.Y., October 12, 1844 An early, and very
rare "campaign newspaper", created specifically to support the campaign
of Henry Clay for President of the United States. In the days before
other forms of media, newspapers were the only way for the citizenry to

but nature, short-lived newspapers. This is... See More
