Happy New Year, and thanks for sharing the article as I would have missed it otherwise.

And PS, if the newspaper owner has a certain political view, well, you can guess which crimes or accusations would be "forgotten" or forgiven.

Am I reading this wrong? This isn't just de-indexing but removing the actual article from the newspaper? What about searches via Lib of Congress, NARA, ProQuest, Newspapers dot com and other for profit newspaper and genealogy search platforms? Never expected it from newspapers.

Thanks so much for the kind review and recommendation!

4/ There were some disappointing reads for me this year too, but kudos to every author who tried! You can find my complete reading list for 2024 (and before) on
Goodreads or message me for the complete list of 34 books if you are interested.

3/ Favorite work of fiction was "West with Giraffes," by
Lynda Rutledge, a work of fiction based on the true story of the journey of two giraffes transported across America during the Depression to the San Diego Zoo. Sometimes you just need a book that makes you feel good.

2/ By far, my favorite nonfiction book of the year was "The Demon of Unrest," by @exlarson, about the critical five months between Lincoln’s election and the start of the Civil War. The book leaves you with an uneasy feeling that history is repeating itself today.

It is a fraught history. One of the best books I've read is You Are Not American by Amanda Frost. www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/659477...
