I remember the weekly Newsreel when attending the Saturday movie matinee. News of the World tells how those who could not read after the Civil War would pay to hear a news editor read the news from newspapers and how they learned what was happening elsewhere in the world. I also enjoyed reading how a young girl that had been captured by the Indians reintegrated into the white world.
