NEWSPAPERS
Because Hetty Green was so widely covered during her own time, period newspapers and magazines were a vital resource, not just for the details they recount, but for the light they shed on how her contemporaries viewed her. I amassed hundreds of articles from dozens of newspapers, with the following newspapers providing the bulk of the material: New York World; New-York Daily Tribune, New York Sun, New York Times, Brooklyn Daily Eagle, New Bedford (Mass.) Morning Mercury, New Bedford (Mass.) Evening Standard, New-Bedford Gazette and Courier, the New Bedford (Mass.) Standard-Times, Bellows Falls (Vt.) Times. The New York Times proved to be a particularly valuable resource, thanks mainly to a marvelous computer search engine enabling researchers to search every issue from 1851 on, according to a word or phrase, and to print out a facsimile of the article. Professional researcher Roger D. Joslyn conducted the search on my behalf, sending me fat packets of articles every few days crammed not just with lengthy profiles, but obscure details on real estate deals, financial transactions, and even racehorses named for Hetty—few if any of which would have turned up in a traditional search of the New York Times Index.
