A historical newspaper page from The Pine and Palm, dated November 30, 1861. The article titled 'The Fugitives in Canada' discusses Harriet Tubman, also known as 'Mother Moses,' highlighting her bravery and contributions to the abolitionist movement. A prominent quote is extracted in a blue text box, reading: 'Harriet Tubman, better known by the name of Mother Moses, is one of the most note-worthy of American women…' The newspaper text praises Tubman’s courage and leadership in leading enslaved individuals to freedom.
In November 1861, Harriet Tubman "...animated [by] the noble desire to lead out the oppressed from the house of bondage..." traveled to "...Boston for a week for the purpose of devising methods for protecting the interests of fugitives in Canada."

Newspaper article from the Springfield Republican dated November 16, 1890, titled 'The Literary Wayside.' The article discusses Emily Dickinson's poetry, including commentary on her style, themes, and reclusive life. It features quotes from her works, as well as excerpts from other poets for comparison. The text is arranged in long columns, characteristic of 19th-century newspapers, with references to Emerson and other literary figures. The article is densely packed with critical analysis and reflections on Dickinson's unique contributions to literature
Only 7 of Emily Dickinson's poems were published in her lifetime. Her first book of poetry, Poems by Emily Dickinson, appeared in 1890. The Springfield (MA) Republican reviewed the volume concluding "Those who are fit will read and know themselves divined."
