The Buffalo News (Author)

Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

What better way could The Buffalo News mark the beginning of a new millennium than to present to its readers the outstanding front pages it has published in the 120 years of its publication history? Having made the decision to do this, we put people to work digging into all the past volumes of The News to seek out the front pages that carried reports of significant historical events with the tragedies and triumphs of the Buffalo area, the nation, the world. The result of this labor-intensive review is in this commemorative volume. Newspapers record history as it is made. Scanning these pages and the decades they cover will give you a bird's-eye view of events that have left their indelible mark on us today, many years after the happenings.

-Murray B. Light Editor & Senior Vice President, Retired The Buffalo News

5.0 out of 5 stars A Turn Back in Time, May 9, 2001

This review is from: Headlines & History (Hardcover)

Dateing back to the early 1900's covering the most interesting front pages for each century a sense of awe overcomes you. Take a walk through the pages of this book and it will bring an inspriational journy back in time to expierence how the past was written. This book, headlines & History, conveys the top stories of the history such as: World War I, World War II, the "shut-off" of Niagara Falls, and many more local events. In comparison to the Encyclopedia this book not only gives the information but also shows the eral photographs and text of writing. Yes, the encyclopedia is works well for research but to get an idea of the past i favor this book. The only problem I found wrong with this book was that the Buffalo News published it almost right before the year 2000 came. I feel, in my own opinion, that they should have published the book after the new millenium so the historic page could also be viewed int he future. I rate this book five stars because it grasps the interst of any age and it is well organized. So, in conclusion, this book portrays the history of every day life of Buffalo and of the world it is sure to be treasured for many more years to come.
