Booklets, Magazines, and Newspapers

At every stop of the Fleet there were booklets published, magazine articles completed, and newspaper articles printed.  As a collector of the GWF I have tried to collect and preserve these items the same as any postcard or photograph.  Many times these sources provided another prospective of the community the Fleet was visiting and detailed information regarding the events and schedule not available through other sources.
