The Bullet:In

A Collection of Strange and Exciting Stories

Listen Later

When I do research for episodes and articles, I like to dig into the original source material. Newspapers, journals, photographs, anything from the time period I happen to be looking into. Every so often, I’ll come across an old article that seems far too interesting to just leave behind. I’ve gathered up a few segments here that never made it into a podcast episode, though they may at some point in the future.

I hope you enjoy this rather unusual collection of stories, mostly from the 1800s.

The articles today:

  • A letter by British officer Joseph Graham, in November of 1781, recounting a conversation with Daniel Morgan
  • “The Anderson Intelligencer,” in April of 1906, in an article titled, “Daring Deeds of a Scout.”
  • The Journal (of New York) in January of 1896, in the article titled, “The Whole World Endangered by New York City Scientists; Deadly germs in incredible numbers carefully cultivated in local laboratories.”
  • “The Morning Times,” January 3rd, 1897, an article titled “No Sea Girt Team.”
  • “The Iola Register”, in March of 1899, in an article titled, “A Thrilling Tale.”
  • “The English Review,” dated September of 1920, in an article titled, “British Snipers; An Account of the Training and Organization of Snipers in the British Armies in France.”
  • “Daily Union,” in November of 1848, an advertisement
