For this short paper, I’d like you to go to this website:
https:
klyn.newspapers.com/title_1890/the_
ooklyn_daily_eagle
These are the archives of the Brooklyn Daily Eagle, a newspaper from Brooklyn, NY.
Using the Browse function, choose the issue for any day between 1880 and 1910. Sometimes I suggest choosing your birthdate from 100 years ago (or 110 or 90 years ago). Or you could just choose randomly.
Starting with that date, look for 2 articles about any of the following:
· A factory accident
· A factory death
· A mill accident
· A mill death
· A mining accident
· A mining death
· Any workplace accident
· A strike or work stoppage
Once you’ve found 2 articles, answer the following questions in your short paper:
1. Name the paper and the dates
2. Briefly describe the articles and what you found
3. How long did it take you to find 3 articles? Was the amount of reading
esearch you had to do expected or unexpected?
4. What do the 2 articles have in common? How are they different?
5. Please note any other aspects of the articles or the newspaper that you found interesting.
