A WWI Diary That Never Was

WWI Diary was to have brought you the whole of World War I as it was reported in the papers of the day, exactly 100 years later. For a year I blogged news leading up to the big war, thinking if there was any real interest regular readers would trickle in. They did not. Count: zero. So I stopped blogging the war news. For students of the time, 1914-1918 editions are available on the Web as thousands of individual articles via a Times service called Spiderbites.

Tries To Shoot Archduke.

New York Times 100 years ago today, January 27, 1913:
Employe of Louis Salvator of Tuscany Grazes Him, Wounds Governess
PARIS, Jan. 20.— A Barcelona dispatch to the Petit Parisien reports an attempt to assassinate Archduke Louis Salvator of Tuscany.
While the Archduke was walking in the grounds of his estate at Miramir in the Balearic Islands a workman employed on the estate fired at him several times with a revolver. One bullet grazed the Archduke and severely wounded a governess.
