Explore history every day with a headline from the past, from The New York Times.
Imagine a time machine, right on your desktop, that takes you back to some of the most fascinating, important--and sometimes forgotten--events in history through actual New York Times headlines. Here are notable moments in sports: 61,808 Fans Roar Tribute to Gehrig (July 5, 1939). Medical mysteries solved: Scientists Link the Legion Disease to a Hitherto Unknown Bacterium (January 19, 1977). Civil rights milestones: Harvard Law Will Admit Women (October 10, 1949). And human-interest stories beyond our wildest dreams: Driver Heir to $5,000,000 (September 14, 1907), about an American railroad worker who unexpectedly inherited his wealthy British granduncle's fortune! Each day's headline is accompanied by a detailed caption that provides historical context around the event. For history lovers, there's no better gift. Printed on responsibly sourced paper and 100% recyclable.
