Early American Almanacs

About

In the American Colonies, pocket sized almanacs outsold all other types of books combined. These little books were handy, everyday tools in print, providing readers with weather predictions, the dates of important religious and civic events, business resources, medical guidance, and informative essays. Benjamin Franklin achieved economic security by writing and publishing Poor Richard’s Almanac, and we even have an almanac used by George Washington.
