100
Years of Headline News Presented by the Orange County Register
: This unique keepsake book of specially selected front pages from
The Orange County Register captures the mind and mood our county,
our state, our nation and our world as we traveled through the last
century. Each page brings these exciting moments to back life with
breaking news as it was reported in the heat of deadline. Inside,
you'll experience the arrival of the automobile, the "war to end all
wars," the sinking of the Titanic, the Great Depression, the 1933
earthquake, the rise of the Third Reich, the dawn of the nuclear age,
the assassination of John F. Kennedy, the landing of men on the moon,
the fall of Saigon, the destructive storms of 1983, the collapse of
communism, Desert Storm, the Laguna firestorm, the dawn of a new millennium
and much, much more. You'll be able to go beyond the big headlines
and uncover smaller stories that made the front pages, stories that
reveal who we were as a people during the last 100 years. You'll discover
your heritage, and - perhaps - you'll learn something about yourself.
