THE DUNDEE HAWKEYE newspaper began to be published in Dundee, Illinois, in March of 1890. It became the area's resource for local and world news for twenty-seven years. Many of the events that happened during those years have been lost to obscurity. What was it like to live in Dundee or Carpentersville over one hundred years ago? What did they do for entertainment? Was there crime in this area back then? What were their political views? What new inventions were they excited about? What hardships did they endure? These as well as many other topics are understood first hand as you read through the hundreds of articles that have been selected from their local newspaper, THE DUNDEE HAWKEYE. THE DUNDEE HAWKEYE was published weekly until 1917. This is Volume 3, covering the year 1895. The following years will be released as they are completed. Now that we have this information at our fingertips, we can understand and feel first hand, what it was like to live in Dundee more than one hundred years ago. Additionally, we have access to details and history that had been buried and forgotten...until now.

Excerpt from The History of Dundee: Being an Account of the Origin and Progress of the Burgh In justification of a new book, and more especially one of historical character, two things may fairly be required, - that the subject should possess some interest in itself, and that it should be presented with some degree of skill and completeness. That the first of these conditions will be apparent in this case the author is well assured, however diffident he may feel as to the merits of his performance. That was undertaken more from regard to the necessity of meeting a want long felt to exist than from any sense of special fitness for the task. Until the appearance of Thomson's work in 1847, no proper History of the town existed. Dr Small's contribution to the Statistical Account of Scotland, published toward the end of last century, although valuable in its way, did not profess to cover the ground required in an exhaustive history of the town. Since 1847, the researches of a host of able writers have thrown much light on local as well as national history, and made the incompleteness of the original edition, in many respects, more obvious; besides which it has long been out of print. In proceeding to supply the want referred to, the intention at first was to reproduce the original work so far as it went, with such corrections as might be derived from later authorities, and accordingly the earlier sheets were revised, with the emendations indicated in the text, or put in the form of notes. Before proceeding very far, however, it became apparent, from the necessity of large excisions and additions, that this course was unsatisfactory, and the greater part of the work has therefore been re-written.

Excerpt from The History of Old Dundee: Narrated Out of the Town Council Register, With Additions From Contemporary Annals I at first proposed to print the records chronologically, as has been done with those of some other burghs, but a careful consideration convinced me that this would not be a very satisfactory arrangement, as many of them are short, detached, and intermixed references, which could hardly prove intelligible, and would not be of special historical interest, unless those relating to each other were conjoined in regular sequence. The method which I then adopted of condensing the materials into separate articles, arranged, with marginal dates, in a narrative form, implied a considerable amount of labour, but I felt that this should not be grudged if it would have the effect of developing their proper meaning and realising their full value. I have found in contemporary annals - in the Acts of the Scottish Parliament, especially in that portion of them which was lately printed from the volumes found in the London State Paper Ofiice, in the recently published volumes of the Register of the Privy Council, and in other historical authorities, general and local - many references to the burgh which throw light upon its history and records, and have embodied them also in the narrative; and I have printed in the appendix some inter esting and important additions derived from original documents. It has been my endeavour to retain as far as possible the quaint and pithy language of the old writings, but I have considerably modernised the spelling - this being so irregular as to be frequently confusing excepting in the case of words of antiquarian or philological interest, which I have invariably printed as they are written, giving explanation of their meanings in notes, when such seemed necessary.

Excerpt from Haunted Dundee IN every large town there are spots that have been made memorable by some incidents, some important event which had an influence upon local or national history, the birthplace of a hero, the humble weaver's shop, perchance, which afterwards developed into a colossal weaving factory. Such places have always an attraction, for the human mind looks back upon small beginnings that have produced unexpected results. There are also streets and houses in every city and village that have become notorious as the scenes of appalling crimes that have thrilled the hearts of those who heard Of them long ago. All these places may be regarded as haunted by the memories of the past, whether they be pleasant or terrible.
