This issue is Part One of a two-part series on the “Roaring Twenties”. I originally planned to focus solely on the years 1920-1929, but after discovering how volatile the period of time between the end of World War I and the beginning of a new decade were, I decided to start out with an extensive look at 1919. I hope you find it as informative and interesting as I did.

Again, in honor of the magazine’s fifth anniversary I have spliced in some articles from the archives.

● Before the “Roar”
   The Great Molasses Flood of 1919
   Hell for Rent: A Nation Goes Dry
   The Great Red Scare
   Anarchy!
   Red Summer
● The Decade That Changed America: Part One - A Return to Normalcy?
● Family History Toolbox
● May I Recommend
● The Dash: Carbon Petroleum Dubbs (1881-1962)

Enjoy the issue! I am looking forward to the next issue – Part Two of “The Roaring Twenties” series featuring articles like: Fads, Flappers and Feminism; Bootleggers, Cow Shoes and Tommy Guns; Mining Genealogical Gold: Finding Records of the “Roaring Twenties” (and the stories behind them) and more!

As always, I am grateful for my faithful subscribers. You are a blessing to me!
