I've been having a hard time making my Fanfic sound genuine. SO I have checked out a few books from the library that are based in the 1700-1800 eras as well as doing online research and reading other fanfictions. I pretty much only made this thread to post about the Journal of Finn Reardon A Newsie. I think you guys may have already read it, but I can't get over how strange it is.
So far, I've only seen Mush, Racetrack, and Kid Blink pop up but I know Spot and Crutchy are in here somewhere... It's really helpful. Mush is noted as muscular and quite the lady's man as he always has a "goil" on his arm. Racetrack is still the smart-eh-ess-ess (a-s-s) and even does bet on everything! The only real thing Disney has off with the original characters is age (Their WAY off, there) and they forgot to mention they go to school... (The teacher sounds a lot like Snyder, though...) The lodging houses are also set much differently. They provide food and education instead of only beds and a wash room.
I'm trying to find activities and things people spent their spare time doing. So far I've found ice-skating and junk picking.
Random facts I've picked up:
*That stupid giant chalkboard I know we all think is pointless was in fact real...
*Race's real name isn't Anthony it's Thomas. (Who was telling us Anthony,
anyhow?)
*Little newsies are just as cute as you'd expect
*Toilet paper was old newspapers... Ouch.
*Deaths really do sell more papes and "improving the truth" is done by all.
*Mush is crazy.
*Cheese it really was used and although it doesn't surprise me, it's just odd to think about.
