History Encounters unearths the greatest stories with the major events from The Newsies to expand reader horizons for readers to be best informed.

A massive strike stopped the circulation of newspapers in New York City just before the turn of the twentieth century. However, neither the strikers nor the majority of the parties involved were professionals. Young boys, known as "newsboys," led the charge in "The Newsboys' Strike of 1899," pitting themselves against newspaper magnates like William Randolph Hearst and Joseph Pulitzer.

Learning about history will keep you perceptive and make sure to not repeat mistakes that others made in the past. The different stories in this series will show the readers that history should not just be seen from one perspective, but from the different eyes of the groups of people involved. You never know, you might finally understand their choices, their actions and their reactions.

  • The history of different countries and cultures
  • The inner workings of major historical turning points in different countries.
  • Different perspectives of major events in history
  • The reasons behind different wars or battles throughout history

These historical series are for anyone who wants to learn fun, exciting and influential facts of what happened years before their time. Do you want to learn history through a multitude of different eyes?
