Colonial printing presses couldn´t handle large sheets of paper, so when Publick Occurrences was printed in Boston on Sept. 25, 1690, it was only 7 inches wide, with two 3-inch columns of text. The four-page paper had three pages of news ( the last page was blank), including mention of a "newly appointed" day of Thanksgiving in Plimouth . (Plimouth? Publick? Where all the copy editors in those days?)The simple beginnngs, by Tim Harrower.
