I
wish someone would attempt to find the photographs from this special
edition. If we had the originals they could
be reprinted, enlarged and displayed at the Library in Hartford
I
will post all 30 pages of the newspaper but these images will be small. Some of you might be able to enlarge them for
better reading. If you cannot do that
and you want to read these pages, please click on US Newspapers in the “links” shown to the right of this post; that
will take you to the Library of Congress.
Then click on the “Advanced Search” tab and scroll down in the “Select
Newspaper” section until you can select The
Hartford Republican; then on the right use the “Date Range” and insert
09/21/1911 to 09/23/1911 – this will lead you to the special edition. It will
show 20 small images and the special edition starts with image 9 (the first 8
images are the regular newspaper from that date). Down at the bottom you can click on the
number “2” and that will take you to the next 18 images. I suggest you read
them in order starting with image 9 - just click on that image and it will
enlarge – then you can enlarge it more using your mouse or by using the plus
sign on the upper left. To go to the
next page click on the arrow to the right of the word “Page.”
