Newspaper headlines are an American invention that came into frequent use during the Civil War, but the earli- est known example blared forth from the front page of the Tory New York Gazette and the Weekly Mercury on October 20, 1777.

Washington Knocked up—The Bloodiest Battle in America— 6,000 of his Men Gone—100 Wagons to Carry the Wounded—General Howe is at present in Germantown—Washington 30 Miles Back in a Shattered Condition—Their Stoutest Frigate Taken and One Deserted—They are Tired—And Talk of Finishing the Campaigne. |
