New York Times 100 years ago today, March 17, 1913:
EL PASO, March 16.— The vanguard of Inez Salazar's army arrived to-night within one mile of Juarez.
The rebel force is estimated at 500 men. Juarez is defended by 300 Federal regulars.
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.
