Behind every act of revolution stood a printed page. In colonial New York, those pages were born in cramped workshops, noisy presses and daring minds. Sketches Of Printers And Printing In Colonial New York is classic printing history nonfiction that uncovers the men, families and firms who carried news, laws and ideas across eighteenth century America. This history is intensely human. C. S. R. Hildeburn offers vivid sketches of early American printers and the growth of the New York printing industry at the moment when the colonies were finding their voice. The result is a colonial history monograph and book trade history study in one: rich in detail yet readable enough for any curious lover of colonial New York history. Set firmly in the age of Benjamin Franklin printing, these accounts illuminate colonial newspaper publishing and the emerging history of American journalism, making this an indispensable resource for book history researchers and a surprisingly practical reference for genealogists tracing artisans, apprentices and merchant networks. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions, this classic study has been restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure, beautifully suited to casual readers of history, dedicated scholars and collectors of heritage titles alike.
