Swanson Documents: Newspaper

The numbers refer to the date. For instance '19020927' would be '1902 September 27..

Some of the newspaper articles listed are scans of the original newspaper showing the article in the context of the newspaper, often interesting because of the ads. These may be difficult to read so a transliteration of the article is also provided. Most of the articles were from the Chicago Tribune and were found on the web.

Articles that were cut irregularly from a newspaper with a few having writing on them, were handed down through the generations until they were in the possession of David Swanson's grand-nephew, Lennart Holmquist.
