The New York Times has many of their front pages on the web.
Here is the front page and lead story from December 8, 1941. It's fascinating the detail Frank Kluckhorn, the author of the story, provides, including the precise time the war became official...as if the bombs dropping on Pearl Harbor didn't count. A nice peek at a different time.
Fantastic, One great thing about the web is being able to easily get archived material. Love this stuff...
ReplyDeleteAn important date that I hope will always be remembered in American History.
Great link.
ReplyDeleteWow incredible story, that dated marked a black day for America and the rest of the world, and by looking at Egypt these day I sense a war coming soon.
ReplyDeleteHi - the NY Times article you're referring to appeared in the December 9, 1941 issue. The article probably was written on Dec. 8th.
